Ingredients
Peanut Butter Cookies
- 1/2 Cup Natural Peanut Butter
- 1/2 Cup Date Sugar *see notes for substitutes
- ¼ Cup Maple Syrup
- ¼ Cup Unsweetened Applesauce
- 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 Tablespoon Ground Flaxseeds
- 1 1/2 Cups Oat Flour
- 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 Cup Mini Vegan Chocolate Chips
Peanut Butter Filling
- 1/2 Cup Peanut Butter
- 2 Tablespoons Date Sugar *see notes for substitutes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk the applesauce, cashew butter, date sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Add the flaxseeds, oat flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop into 2-teaspoon sized balls (I used a #70 cookie scoop) and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Use your hand to flatten to a 2" diameter - you want them to be as flat as possible for the sandwiches.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the cookies are slightly brown around the edges and solid enough to pick up - a crisp cookie is ideal for sandwiches. Let the cookies cool completely.
- While the cookies cool, make the peanut butter filling. In a small bowl whisk the peanut butter and sugar.
- When the cookies are completely cool, spread 2 teaspoons of the peanut butter filling on the bottom of half of the cookies and create sandwiches.
