Ingredients
- 1/3 cup buttery spread, I used a non dairy such as Country Crock Original
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons date or coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, I use baby food applesauce
- 1 1/2 cups oat flour
- 1/4 cup golden flax meal
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 - 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons chocolate chips, I used sugar free, such as Lily’s semisweet or any low sugar chocolate chip variety
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and 1/4 cup of sugar until fluffy. Add in the applesauce, stevia and vanilla extract. Add in the rest of the ingredients except the chips and mix well. Dig deep to make sure all the dry ingredients are well incorporated into the batter. Now fold in the chocolate chips. Place the batter in the fridge for about 15 minutes. Take out and scoop out into 24 small mounds. With moist fingers, press down a little to flatten. Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of sugar over the top of each cookie. Bake for about 11 to 15 minutes until the cookies are nice and light brown and a bit crispy. The bottoms should be light brown as well. Rotate the pans after 5 minutes for even baking. When finished, take out and let the pans cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!
