Peanut Butter & Coconut Cookies (Gluten Free - Dairy Free - Egg Free)

Posted At : October 8, 2008 9:35 PM

1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup unsalted peanut butter
1/4 cup agave syrup
1 cup shredded coconut (small cut)

Mix applesauce and baking soda together and add to the last three ingredients.

Make small balls and flatten with fork. If dough is too sticky add a little more shredded coconut to mix.

Bake at 350 until bottoms are brown. (Times vary with different ovens).

This amount of ingredients will make a small batch of cookies. Double the recipe for more.

Add different ingredients to change the taste up...a little vanilla, cinnamon, or my kids favorite....cocoa powder.

These are also good as a "no bake" dessert. Omit the baking soda, roll the dough in really small balls and roll in shredded coconut. Place in the fridge and now you have a no bake dessert that is so wonderful.

kathy, these are great! This is a really good formula to work with.
here's what I tried differently. I used almond butter instead of peanut butter. and instead of a cup of coconut I used 3/4 gluten free flour mix(rice-tapioca-potato) and a 1/4 cup of coconut flour. it makes a really nice light biscuit like cookie. not too sweet, and it travels well!

How much cocoa powder do you use when you use it?
