Eggless Nut Butter Cookies

[radiantfracture]

I generally don't bake with sugar (I use honey or maple syrup or applesauce). This often means I am a bit disappointed with my own results. These are pretty good, though. They're a variant and convergence of various online recipes.

Basically nuts are amazing and don't get enough credit.

1/2 c nut butter (I've used almond & PB now and both were good)
1/3 c honey
1 tsp vanilla
1 heaping tbsp applesauce
3/4 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
Salt if you want it (I don't add it)
1/2 c chocolate chips

I baked these in silicone muffin tins at 325. The cookies have a nice slightly biscuity texture and do not taste of applesauce. (This is important.)

NB I did not measure the flour very carefully, so you should use your own judgement.

Yeah, they're definitely less sweet. I think maple syrup would work -- best thing would be to find a way to cut back the other liquid somehow, but that's tricky here.
