Yield: 10-12                                                                 

Prep time: 5-10 minutes                                                     

Cook time: 10-12 minutes

Cooling time: 15 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

• ⅓ cup peanut butter, or any other butter
• ¼ cup Metta flour
• ¼ cup sugar*
• 2-3 Tbsp applesauce
• ¾ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/8 tsp salt
• ½ cup vegan chocolate chips (depending on your amount preference)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F then line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, combine Metta flour with baking soda and salt.
3. Add all the remaining ingredients and stir to form a dough.
4. Roll into cookie balls gently flattening them and if you wish, press a fork gently creating hash marks to ensure the cookies cook evenly since peanut butter cookie dough is denser than other cookie doughs.
5. Bake for about 10-12 minutes.
6. Let cool for at least 15 minutes and enjoy 😊

* To make it sweeter, add 1/3 cup of sugar instead of 1/4 cup. You can also use a natural sugar like coconut sugar
