Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup peanut butter, or allergy-friendly sub
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 3 tbsp flour (spelt, white, oat, sorghum, rice all work)
• 1/3 cup sugar, unrefined if desired
• 2 tbsp applesauce
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. If your peanut butter is not stir-able, gently warm to soften. Add all remaining ingredients to the mixing bowl and stir to form a dough. Roll into cookie balls. If you want soft cookies, refrigerate the dough at least an hour. (You can also freeze cookie dough balls to bake at another time if you wish.) Bake in a preheated oven (350F) for 8 minutes. The cookies will look quite underdone when you take them out. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before removing from tray, as they firm up while cooling.
