FOOD: Gluten free vegan peanut butter cookies


Update: I have made these with powder sugar and jiff, cookie comes a lil more melt in your mouth and still awesome! 

This recipe is intended for vegan or people with egg, dairy or wheat allergies. If you are none of these consider using 1 egg in place of the apple sauce to make a cookie that will rise a bit.

Ingredients:

1cup peanut butter
1cup sugar (or equivalent in a substitute)
2 teaspoons apple sauce

Preheat oven to 350F

Mix ingredients together and a dough will form.

Roll into 1inch balls.

Press flat 1/4 in on parchment paper on a baking sheet.

Bake for 8-10 mins. They will be very fragile wait till cooled before removing from paper.
