Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a food processor, pulse the raw walnuts until they are finely chopped but not turned into a paste.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, almond flour, and unsweetened shredded coconut.

Step 4

Add the unsweetened applesauce, cinnamon, vanilla extract, baking soda, salt, and egg into the dry ingredients. Mix the mixture well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 5

Using a tablespoon, scoop the cookie dough and drop it onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.

Step 6

Gently flatten each dough ball with the back of a spoon to form cookie shapes.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy these cookies warm or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
