Lighter Peanut Butter Cookies (Vegan)

Lighter Peanut Butter Cookies (Vegan)

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter, or other nut butter
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar, unrefined if desired
  • 2 tbsp applesauce
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Serves: 7 to 10 cookies

Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. If your peanut butter is difficult to stir, you can warm it slightly in a microwave-safe bowl to soften.

Add remaining ingredients to the mixing bowl and stir to form a dough.

Roll into balls. Note: If you want soft cookies, refrigerate the dough at least an hour first.  Bake in a preheated oven (350F) for 8 minutes. The cookies may look underdone at first; however, let them cool for at least 10 minutes before removing from tray, as they will firm up while cooling.

Option: You can also freeze cookie dough balls to bake at another time.
