- Bake for 9 to 10 minutes or until cookies look just barely set in the middle.
- Remove pan from oven. If desired, lightly tap pan on countertop to help cookies spread slightly.

Notes
- Melt coconut oil before gathering other ingredients. This helps the coconut oil cool down before mixing with the other ingredients.
- Instead of eggs, this recipe uses applesauce. I highly recommend using this instead of flax eggs or chia eggs.
- All purpose flour and gluten free 1 to 1 flour both work well.
- Use all natural creamy peanut butter made from only peanuts and salt.
- The cookies will appear doughy and underdone at first. They will slightly firm up as they cool.
- Store cookies at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- These cookies freeze well!
