COPA Cookies

Small soft cookies on two cookies pans. Made with Chocolate Chips Oatmeal Pecans and Applesauce, No extra sugar as the Applesauce has sugar and there is 2 tablespoons of honey in them.

COPA Cookies

These cookies are perfect with coffee or milk and are an excellent gift for friends and neighbors. They don't have any additional sugar other than honey and applesauce. Yet they are satisfyingly sweet. I named them Copa because of the main ingredients and they help me cope with an occasional attack of a sweet tooth.

4 ounces unsweetened or original Applesauce
2 Tbsp Raw Orange Blossom Honey
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla
2 Tbsp Almond Milk or Coconut Milk
1/2 cup Pecans Chopped If you don't have pecans on hand you can substitue 1/4 cup of pecan flour.
1 cup Nestles Milk Chocololate Chips I use Nestles because it is 100% chocolate. The Ghirardelli is only 60% chocolate.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenhiet
Mix together in a large bowl - melted butter, almond milk, vanilla, apple butter, apple sauce, honey

Let the oatmeal sit for 3 minutes before adding the rest of the ingredients as it will absorb the flavors
Add in the All-purpose flour and the Almond Flour and mix well
Add in the Pecans and the Chocolate Chips and stir to combine
On a parchment lined cookie pan drop the dough using a teaspoon. You want it to be a heaping teaspoon size
Bake in the oven for 12 to 16 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
Let the cookies rest on the pan for approximately 10 minutes before removing from the pan
