- 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce [1]
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup unsalted peanut butter [2]
- 1/4 cup agave syrup [3]
- 1 cup shredded coconut [4] (small cut)
Mix applesauce and baking soda together and add to the last three ingredients.
Make small balls and flatten with fork. If dough is too sticky add a little more shredded coconut to mix.
Bake at 350 until bottoms are brown. (Times vary with different ovens).
This amount of ingredients will make a small batch of cookies. Double the recipe for more.
Add different ingredients to change the taste up…a little vanilla [5], cinnamon [6], or my kids favorite….cocoa powder [7].
These are also good as a “no bake” dessert. Omit the baking soda, roll the dough in really small balls and roll in shredded coconut. Place in the fridge and now you have a no bake dessert that is so wonderful.
