Calories 40kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole grain flour (I use spelt or whole wheat)
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 + 1/8 tsp sea salt
- 1 1/2 Tbsp soft butter
- 3 Tbsp soft coconut oil
- 1 1/2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 1/2 Tbsp applesauce
- 6-8 Tbsp hot water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add in the butter, coconut oil, maple syrup, and applesauce and stir until 'pebbly' in texture.
- Stir in four tablespoons of hot water and continue adding it one tablespoon at a time until the dough is moist, but not sticky to the touch. This is usually around 6 1/2-7 tablespoons for me.
- Once you have your dough, roll it out using a little flour until it is about 1/8-1/4 inch in thickness.
- Begin cutting out your cookies using your desired cookie cutters.
- Place the cookies on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Cool them, then frost or ice them as desired.
