Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup Chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil and brown sugar, mixing until smooth.
Stir in the applesauce and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
Fold in the chopped walnuts evenly throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
Slightly flatten each dough ball with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
