Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour: A nutritious base that gives these cookies a delightful texture.
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce: This keeps the cookies moist and adds natural sweetness.
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted: Adds a rich flavor and helps bind the ingredients together.
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: A must for that lovely aromatic touch.
• 1 teaspoon baking powder: Helps the cookies rise for that perfect soft texture.
• 1/2 teaspoon salt: Balances the flavors beautifully.
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional): Adds a warm, cozy spice that you will love.

How to Make Morbidi, profumati e… senza zucchero aggiunto

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if you’re using it).
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. If you’d like, fold in the chopped nuts or dried fruit at this stage.
5. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Your kitchen will smell amazing!
7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Substitutions & Additions

If you want to get creative with this recipe, here are some fun substitutions and additions:

• Swap almond flour for oat flour or all-purpose flour if you prefer.
• Use mashed bananas instead of applesauce for a different flavor profile.
• Add dark chocolate chips for a sweet twist without the need for added sugar.
• Try different spices like nutmeg or cardamom for a unique taste.

Tips for Success

• Be careful not to overmix the dough; this can make the cookies tough.
• If the dough feels too dry, you can add a little more applesauce or coconut oil.
• Prep the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours for a thicker cookie.

How to Store Morbidi, profumati e… senza zucchero aggiunto

Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want them to last longer, you can freeze them for up to three months. Just make sure to separate them with parchment paper to prevent sticking!
