Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, melted coconut oil, unsweetened applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and smooth.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Step 5
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 6
Gently flatten each cookie dough ball with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. The centers will look slightly underdone, but they will set as they cool.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Enjoy your homemade dairy-free classic peanut butter cookies!
