Apple Cinnamon Cookies

These Apple Cinnamon Cookies are healthier, soft and chewy, full of apple and cinnamon flavor. This recipe is free of eggs, grains, gluten, dairy and refined sugars. They remind me of these moist Apple Cinnamon Muffins but are easier and faster to make.

I'm so excited to give you this recipe today just before Christmas. I literally came up with this recipe in my dreams as I was sleeping.

Immediately after I woke up, I wrote it all down and off to my kitchen I went to experiment.

If there's a texture in a cookie that couldn't be more perfect without using eggs and grain flours, these Apple Cinnamon Cookies are it.

They have a soft and chewy texture, with fluffy, tender crumbs. They are moist and have a warm apple cake flavor.

My father-in-law who does not eat Paleo and is here visiting, ate 4 cookies as soon as they came out of the oven, and said these are the perfect cookies to enjoy alongside his morning coffee everyday.

If you ever tried to bake anything made without gluten, you know how hard it is to create the right texture without using eggs as well.

In this recipe, the applesauce replaces the need for adding eggs and it gives these cookies structure.

Although applesauce usually has a mild flavor, it enhances the flavor of these apple cookies beautifully.

Flaxseed meal is also used, and the meal gives these cookies a more traditional wheat-flour taste.

As for the small amount of coconut flour used, it helps absorb the moisture from the applesauce, coconut oil and other wet ingredients.

Spiced with cinnamon, sweetened lightly with raw honey, and baked literally to perfection ♥

I hope you guys love these cookies as much as my family does.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and all the best wishes this holiday season.
