Peanut Butter and Coconut Cookies (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Egg-Free)
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup unsalted peanut butter
- 1/4 cup agave syrup
- 1 cup shredded coconut (small cut)
Directions:
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 degrees until the 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, cinnamon, or my kids’ favorite—cocoa powder.
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.
