3 Ingredient No Bake Apple Cookies
These apple cookies don't require any cooking or baking. The cookies are soft and chewy and just 3 ingredients.
Ingredients
- 4 oz (113 g) sweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup (128 g) creamy natural almond butter
- 1 cup (88 g) quick oats
Instructions
- Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Add applesauce and almond butter to a large mixing bowl and stir until evenly combined. Add in oats and stir until oats are evenly mixed in and mixture turns into a thick dough. You want to stir for a few minutes because as you continue to stir, the oats will soak in more of the liquid and your dough will get thicker. Stir until the dough no longer seems to be getting any thicker. If using any mix-ins, stir them in now.
- Using a 1 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough onto prepared baking pan. Press down on dough ball with the palm of your hand to form a thick round disk. Smooth edges as needed. Cookies should be about 1/2 inch thick. Do not spread cookie dough out too thin because it will make the cookies less sturdy. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Place cookies in the fridge to set (around 30 min-1 hour). This will let the cookies firm up slightly and they should no longer be too sticky to hold. Store uneaten cookies in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- These cookies are only very lightly sweetened. To add more sweetness, add mix-ins like chocolate chips or dried fruit.
- You can use unsweetened applesauce but your cookies won't have any sweetness.
- Applesauce cups are usually sold in 4 oz containers. I used a single 4 oz container of Mott's sweetened applesauce for this recipe.
- I use this 1 tbsp cookie scoop.*
