Almond Joy Cookies with Weight Watchers Points
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (sugar-free or dark chocolate recommended)
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed banana, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth and well combined.
- Add old-fashioned oats, unsweetened shredded coconut, mini chocolate chips, slivered almonds, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and form a thick cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
- Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingers to create a cookie shape.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are set.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store the Almond Joy Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
