Sugar-Free Cookies with Nostalgic Flavor

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended.

In another bowl, mix the unsweetened apple sauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and uniform.

Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring to combine. If you're adding cinnamon or any optional ingredients like nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in now.

Once the dough is combined, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon.

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them; you want them to be firm yet still soft inside.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. They are perfect for a healthy snack or dessert, bringing a crunchy melt-in-your-mouth experience!
