Energy Cookies Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a mixing bowl whisk together oats, flour, ground toasted coconut, flax seed meal, baking soda, baking powder, salt and chocolate chips for 20 seconds, set aside.

To a food processor add peanut butter, applesauce, coconut oil, honey, brown sugar, egg and vanilla. Pulse until combined.

Pour wet mixture over dry mixture and fold with a spatula to combine (dough will be fairly wet). Scoop dough out using a medium cookie scoop and drop onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper or silicone liners, spacing cookies 1½ inches apart.

Flatten cookies to about half their original size. Bake in preheated oven for 9 minutes.

Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
