  • 3 Tbsp Unsweetened Applesauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Add all cookie ingredients except for 1/2 tbsp chia seeds and 1 tbsp flax seeds to a food processor and blend until smooth.

  3. Then add the 1/2 tbsp chia seeds and 1 tbsp flax seeds and pulse briefly to mix through the dough.

  4. Use a tablespoon to scoop 28-30 cookies. Roll the cookies into round balls and place 2" apart on the baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Once all cookie dough balls are on the baking sheet use a piece of wax paper to flatten each dough ball so that it is about as thick as two stacked quarters.
  6. Place cookies in the oven and cook for 25 minutes. Then remove the cookies from the oven, flip them over, and cook for another 15 minutes or until the cookies are hard and crunchy. Let cool.
  7. Meanwhile, place all frosting ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.
  8. Once the cookies have cooled create your cookie sandwiches by adding a teaspoon of frosting between a pair of cookies.
  9. Serve with a plant-based milk or you can dip the cookies in Nuttzo Crunchy Power Fuel Nut Butter or melted dark chocolate. Enjoy!
