THE BEST COOKIES!

These might be the BEST of my cookie recipes! So healthy and so yummy! Gluten-free, dairy-free, low fat, low sugar — perfect for tea time or any time!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup apple sauce
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
1 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup tapioca starch
1 t. xanthan gum
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
3 cups gluten-free oats (I prefer quick-cooking)
1 1/2 cups Enjoy Life chocolate chips (dairy-free)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.  In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients:  brown rice flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, baking soda, and salt.  Set aside.  In a large bowl, cream together, coconut oil, apple sauce, peanut butter, and sugar.  Then beat in the eggs and vanilla.  Add the flour mixture to the large bowl and cream together.  Stir in the oatmeal and chocolate chips.  Drop by rounded teaspoons onto the prepared cookie sheets, 12 to a pan.  With a fork dipped in water, press the cookies to flatten.  Bake for 9-10 minutes.  Cool on cooling racks.  Makes about 4 dozen, but they won’t last long!

The righteous run to it and are safe.  Proverbs 18:10 (NKJV)
