Apple Cinnamon Cookies


Yields

16 cookies

Ingredients

  •  cup apple, grated, peeled*
  • 4 Tb unsweetened applesauce
  • 4 Tb coconut oil, melted
  • 4 Tb raw honey, or maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • 1 Tb coconut flour
  • 1 Tb golden flaxseed meal
  • ½ tsp plus more for sprinkling on top ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp fine Himalayan sald

Directions

  • In a large bowl, mix the grated apple, apple sauce, coconut oil, honey and vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, flaxseed meal, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
  • Using a rubber spatula, gently mix the wet and dry ingredients together just until combined. Do not over mix.
  • Cover bowl and refrigerate dough for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • For each cookie, spoon about 1½ tablespoon of the chilled dough onto the prepared baking sheet, placing each 2-inches apart (I use a medium cookie scoop). Flatten each cookie slightly with the palm of your hand, then sprinkle the top with ground cinnamon.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until the top and bottom start to turn brown. Set sheet on a wire rack to cool.
