Prep time: PT10M
Cook time: PT10M
Total time: PT20M

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar
- 2 tbsp applesauce
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup gluten-free flour (I used the Trader Joe's blend)
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips (I used mini ones)

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Add the natural peanut butter, coconut sugar, applesauce and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl. Mix until completely combined.
3. Add flour and baking soda to the wet ingredients and mix. Don't over mix! Fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Measure out a heaping tbsp of the dough for each cookie, roll into a ball then flatten them into a cookie shape. I got about 11 cookies.
5. Bake for 8-9 minutes. As they cool, they will set. Wait 20 minutes for them to completely cool. Careful not to over-bake! They will dry out.
