INGREDIENTS (makes approximately 2 ½ dozen 3-inch cookies)

2 cups whole wheat flour

1 cup Light Rye Flour

1 apple, diced into small pieces

1/3 cup organic, virgin coconut oil, melted

¼ cup Golden Flaxseed Meal

½ cup water plus 4 teaspoons more

1/3 cup natural applesauce

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt coconut oil by heating it over low heat in a saucepan.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.

Combine flours and flaxseed meal in a large bowl. Add apple, coconut oil, water and applesauce. Mix until well blended. Knead until dough comes together and isn’t sticky.

On a lightly floured, flat surface turn out dough and roll out a portion into a round 3/8” thickness. Using a 3-inch cookie cutter, press out cookies, laying them 1 inch apart on cookie sheet.

Bake at 350 degrees 35-40 minutes, turning the cookies halfway through baking. Cool the cookies on a rack before serving. Store in airtight container in refrigerator or freezer.
