How to Make Healthy Interchangeable Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup Pamela's gluten-free bread mix, 1 cup Bob's Red Mill gluten-free all-purpose baking flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together ½ cup unsweetened applesauce and ¾ cup granulated sugar until well combined.
  4. Whisk in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. If using, gently fold in ½ cup rolled oats and your desired mix-ins (chocolate chips, peanut butter, etc.). For a cakier cookie, omit oats and add an additional ½ cup of gluten-free flour.
  7. Roll dough into 1-inch balls.
  8. Place dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  9. Gently flatten each ball with a fork or your hand into a patty.
  10. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Baking time may vary depending on your oven and desired level of doneness.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
