Serving Size: 1.5 Dozen Cookies

Ingredients:
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup apple sauce (unsweetened)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2-3 tbsp peanut butter (optional)
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup agave or brown sugar (optional)
Instructions:
  • Beat egg
  • Add in flour, vanilla, and apple sauce
  • Add in all remaining ingredients
  • Mix until smooth
  • Add in additional flour or apple sauce depending on whether you want a more moist or dry cookie
  • Bake cookies @350 for 10-20 minutes - check cookies at 10, 15, and 20 minute marks - the drier your cookie, the less baking time you will need
