These apple cookies are delicious! The odds of eating nine or ten of these cookies before you realize what you’ve done are very, very strong.
I think that you should all come over to bake more of these cookies.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 apple, diced
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tbsp ground flax
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 tbsp water
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup shortening (vegetable-based)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Preheat your oven to 375 Fahrenheit.
Stir together the water and ground flax in a small bowl. Set aside.
Whisk together the flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
Use a hand mixer on low-medium speed to cream together the peanut butter, shortening, brown sugar, sugar, and vanilla in a separate bowl.
Pur the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until well combined.
Stir in the water flax mixture and the applesauce.
Fold in the apples.
Place spoonfuls of the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment, about 2 inch apart. I like to play with my food, so I chose to roll and flatten.
Bake until the cookies are golden brown for 10 minutes.
Enjoy!
