Cooling Time: 10 mins

Total Time:      27 mins

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp unsweetened apple sauce
• 2 tbsp neutral oil
• 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
• 1/2 cup Metta flour/atta
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/8 tsp salt a pinch
• 1/4 cup raw sugar

For Sugar-Cinnamon Mix

• 2 – 3 tbsp raw sugar (you can use colorful ones to make the cookies more festive)
• 3/4 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degree. Line the baking tray with a parchment paper.
2. Make the sugar-cinnamon mixture first in a small bowl. Mix them thoroughly and set it aside.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients – oil, unsweetened apple sauce, and vanilla essence. Using a hand whisk or even a spoon, mix it thoroughly.
4. Add sugar to the wet ingredients.
5. Then add Metta flour, salt, and baking powder. Gently combine all the ingredients.
6. Now scoop about 1 tbsp of cookie dough, make a small ball and roll it in the sugar-cinnamon mixture completely.
7. Gently press the ball to flatten to your desired thickness. This gluten-free dough doesn’t expand/spread.
8. Bake for 12 minutes.
9. After baking, let the cookies cool for 10 minutes then, enjoy 😊

Notes

• Coating the cookies with cinnamon sugar is entirely optional.
• I did not add any chocolate chips, nuts, or dry fruits. But you can add 1 tbsp of nuts or dry fruits or mini chocolate chips.
• So far, I have tried this cookie with orange flavor and almond flavor. If you are planning to add cinnamon-sugar mix, I would recommend vanilla flavor then.
• The measure that I used yields seven cookies, but you can double the ratio and bake up to 15 cookies.
