Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Beat together the coconut oil and honey. Add eggs, pumpkin, applesauce and vanilla, then beat until smooth. | |
| Step 2 | |
| In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients then add to the liquid ingredients. Stir to blend. | |
| Step 3 | |
| Drop slightly heaped tablespoons of dough into a lightly greased cookie sheet (coconut oil works well for greasing). Leave about an inch between each cookie. | |
| Step 4 | |
| Bake for 15 minutes at 350* or until lightly brown. Remove from cookie sheet and allow to cool completely. | |
