Today school was cancelled for mom, so Naomi and I stayed home and played. One thing we did together was bake 'cookies.' Now I put cookies in quotes because well, they're not your typical cookies. There is no flour, sugar or eggs in them. I wanted to make something that I didn't mind Naomi eating so here is the cookie recipe we used. It is loosely based off of this recipe, but I had to make adjustments for what we had in the pantry!
Oatmeal, Raisin, Coconut, Peanut butter & Chia Seed Cookies
Ingredients (Wet)
2 Tbsp peanut butter
3/4 cup applesauce
1 tsp vanilla
Directions
Step 1: Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
Step 2: Place the peanut butter, applesauce, vanilla in a bowl and hand mix. Blend until smooth, then add to the dry ingredients and mix well.
Step 3: Form cookies on a baking sheet lightly sprayed with oil or covered with parchment paper (I used parchment paper because the cleanup is way easier!). Use about 1 Tbsp of batter for each cookie, and spread the cookie out on the parchment. The cookies won’t spread as they bake so be sure to spread them out into a “cookie shape” using a fork or spoon, or your clean hands!
Step 4: Bake at very low heat: 200 degrees for 1.5 to 2 hours. When they’re done, they’ll be slightly browned and crispy on the outside.

We were facetiming with Nana while we made cookies, some of the photos are from her!
Thanks Nana!
So the cookies came out kinda dense and dry, because I took out a bunch of the liquid or wet ingredients as I didn't have them on hand. I think if I were to do it again, which I will, I'd add double the apple sauce. But they're pretty good, more like granola bars, but yummy none the less.
