Calories 133cal
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup coconut oil or butter, melted and cooled
- 3/4 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 large SweeTango apple, peeled, cored and shredded
- FOR THE GLAZE:
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup organic powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons almond milk
- Optional: 1/4 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, oats, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- In a separate large bowl, beat together coconut oil, coconut sugar, vanilla extract and egg until smooth and creamy. Fold in shredded apple with wooden spoon.
- Slowly add in dry ingredients and mix until just combined and a dough forms. Fold in pecans, if using. Place dough in fridge for 10-15 minutes.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to place cookie dough on a baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9-12 minutes or until cookies are golden brown around the edges. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining dough.
- While the cookies cool, make the glaze by mixing peanut butter, vanilla, powdered sugar and almond milk together in a medium bowl. The glaze should be drippy enough to glaze over cookies. Add more almond milk if necessary.
