Four Cookies~ Vegan, Gluten-free, Sugar-free, Low-fat
Now I dunno about you, but I still have a hard time trusting myself with a large batch of cookies in the house {especially when I’m home alone!}, so a recipe for four cookies is perfect for me. I adapted this recipe to healthify it, but it originally came from this post titled ‘A Safe Amount of Cookies.’ Aptly named- I concur.
I’ve made many alterations to the recipe to keep making it healthier, as I’ve made this recipe about 6 times now {does that mean it’s still a safe amount?}. If you don’t have gluten-free flour, stick with the all-purpose and ignore the xantham gum. It’s delicious either way.
This recipe is for four cookies…so why are there only two in this photo?
Because cookie dough doesn’t last long in my house. Ever 
Enjoy, foodies! From my kitchen to yours <3

Nom to the max!!!
I’m exactly the same way, Char! It’s unfortunate, but I’ve been known to eat more than half of a batch of cookies in one sitting. Yesah, really a serious problem (but it’s also a really seriously delicious problem!). So this is a perfect recipe for me to try out! I can hardly wait! I might make some before my family goes on a hike this afternoon, as a take-along snack
haha I think we’ve all fallen prey to our inner cookie monster before
if you do try it, please let me know! I hope you love them as much as I do <3
They were great, Char!!!!
I subbed the applesauce with mashed banana, and used sugar instead of the stevia, but the cookies were devoured! (I also tripled the batch, since there are seven in my family). Once again, you’ve created a winner!
YAY YAY YAY!! Sounds so yummy, Katie!! So glad you loved them, & thank you for letting me know!
<3
I love this recipe Char–under 15 minutes? you can’t beat that!
sure can’t! 4 healthy, fresh-baked cookies in less than 15 mins
nom nom
CHAR you cookie monster!! ;DD You are a GENIOUS! How’s the consistency in these cookies? Haha sometimes I prefer cookie dough to when they’re baked….
I’m with you on the cookie dough thing, especially if the cookies are too crunchy. But these are not
They are very soft & chewy <3 I recommend eating half of the cookie dough & baking the rest. hehe.
You know the way to my heart! I can’t wait to make these
I love SIMPLE gf recipes. I don’t do a ton of gf baking because I simply can’t be bothered with the nine million ingredients and 8 hours that come with it sometimes! This is my kind of recipe.
ahhh I totally hear you on the crazy amount of ingredients & time it takes. These are so quick & easy to make, they feel effortless. I hope you love them! <3
Totally agree – 4 cookies is perfect. If I make more I eat them all. Looking forward to making cookies. (ok – eating them)
hehe that’s the best part, isn’t it? eating fresh-baked, homemade cookies straight from the oven! and of course, the cookie dough <3
