Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw walnuts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, pulse the raw walnuts until they are finely chopped but not turned into a paste.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, almond flour, and unsweetened shredded coconut.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, cinnamon, vanilla extract, baking soda, salt, and egg into the dry ingredients. Mix the mixture well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Using a tablespoon, scoop the cookie dough and drop it onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Gently flatten each dough ball with the back of a spoon to form cookie shapes.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these cookies warm or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
