24-28 cookies

 

1 cup almond butter

1/4 cup applesauce

1 tsp. almond extract

3/4 cup xylitol or sugar

1/4 cup, plus 2 Tb. flour of choice. (I used 1/4 cup reg. flour, 2 Tbsp. almond flour.)

1 1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/8 inch salt

OPT: 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chips

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, mix the almond butter, applesauce and extract. In another bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, baking soda and salt. Stir in the chips if using.
