Almond Butter Cookies
Around a cup of almond butter1 whole egg or egg white (if using whole egg, not an extra large or jumbo-too much liquid)
Couple of tablespoons of unsweetened applesauce
about half a cup of raisins or other chopped dried fruit
Couple of tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
Beat all ingredients together. It should be thick batter, but not as thick as cookie dough. Drop by tablepoons on a cookie sheet. Bake in oven (around 375) until they start to go golden, about 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool, then eat! Sometimes I add a couple of teaspoons of honey or fruit juice sweetened jelly, or some dried orange peel, cinammon or allspice, whatever I'm in the mood for. I find these are a great high energy snack food for travelling or when I'm running.
