Even my family, who detests carrots, enjoys this delightful side dish of boiled carrots cooked in butter and brown sugar. Nothing is ever left over.

6/8/2021 Made with sweetner instead of sugar used coconut flour with real chips not bad tasting. next time flatten rolls more.
These turned out great! I used Bob Red Mill’s GF baking flour and I can’t tell the difference!
Hi, I posted this recipe. The applesauce should be 1/2 cup. Since posting this recipe, I have amended it and increased the flour to 1 1/2 cups (one and a half). This makes the cookie less flat.
The first batch was too soft so I added more 1/4 C more flour. And another pinch of baking soda to the remaining batter. The rest cooked up much better. Still a soft cookie, but not a pancake. The flavor was excellent. My daughter likes to eat the cookie dough, so great that it does not contain eggs. I will probably add a 1/2 C of flour to the whole batch next time. Or could decrease the coconut oil a little.
Like others I used 1/4 cup applesauce, and instead of white sugar used truvia baking blend sweetener (equivalent was 2T and 2t). Otherwise I just added to it for fun – 1/4 cup dutch cocoa, 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. Came out rich and lovely.
I made them twiceThe first time they came out horrible. So the second time I used some adjustment I substituted honey for brown sugar and I also added extra flour and White sugar and they came out much better.
I make this recipe and I follow the recommendation from previous comment to used 1/4 cup of apple sauce and I did. I still need to add 1 tbs of flour because I find my mix to soft and came out perfect, however when I try I find for my self to sweet. I make some with dry cranberries for my husband he like it but he find it to soft but good. I divide the mix in tree and my last one was cranberries with walnuts and oh yes! that one are very delicious, we both approved it!
The recipe doesn’t give an amount for the applesauce so I used 1/4 cup as a standard egg replacement. I also added two tablespoons of molasses, 1 cup shredded coconut and 2/3 cup chopped pecans. The cookies are crisp on the outside and chewy inside. Perfect chocolate chip cookies.
