Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, melted coconut oil, unsweetened applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each cookie dough ball with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. The centers will look slightly underdone, but they will set as they cool.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your homemade dairy-free classic peanut butter cookies!
