Peanut Butter Cookies

Preheat oven to 350℉. Stir together in a medium-sized mixing bowl:

• 1 cup natural peanut butter
• ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
• ½ Tbsp. baking powder
• ¼ tsp. vanilla powder or 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• ⅔ cup brown sugar
• ¼ tsp. salt
• 1 cup whole-wheat flour

Stir all ingredients together, adding flour last. Mix the last of the flour in with your hands. Roll dough into walnut-sized balls, and place on a non-stick cookie sheet. Flatten with a fork. Bake for 12 minutes. Let cool on pan.
