Brownie in cookie form? Don’t mind if I do! Whenever I make cookies I always want them to be super light and fluffy and gooey in the center. However, I realized that not all cookies are this way! There are so many different types of cookies and it was about time that I started embracing all the great varieties. So when I accidentally made these brownies into thin cookies, it was such a happy accident. They are perfectly crispy and super chocolaty with zero refined sugars. They are gluten free, dairy free, and also vegan this time! I don’t always bake vegan, but this time it just happened and I’m not complaining. Hope you guys like it! Happy baking and happy cookie eating

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup almond flour

  • 1/2 cup mashed sweet potato

  • 4 tbs applesauce

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or date honey

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • 1/4 cup cacao powder

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • pinch of sea salt

  • 1 tbs coconut sugar

Recipe:

  1. Start by making the mashed sweet potato! Peel one small sweet potato and cut it into 4 small chunks. Place the pieces into a small pot covering them in water. Bring the water to a boil and leave it on this heat until the sweet potato becomes soft enough to pierce through with a fork. Mash it up and let it cool

  2. Mix the dry ingredients together first

  3. Mix the wet ingredients in a separate bowl by starting with the applesauce and the mashed potato. Mix these two super well breaking up any lumps created by the mashed sweet potato. Add in the other wet ingredients and continue to mix until smooth

  4. Mix together the dry and wet ingredients forming a smooth batter

  5. Use a non stick or lined baking tray and create cookie shapes with the batter. The batter will start out thick, but spreads a lot so make sure to leave enough room for the cookies to spread and bake through all the way

  6. Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes. The edges will start to lighten up and crisp while the inside will stay darker and a little softer. Let the cookies cool fully before moving them! Store in the fridge to keep them fresh! Enjoy friends

    Love this recipe, super thin and delicious. I was unsure how many cookies comes out of the mixture but it worked well when I evenly spread it into 12 cookies.
