Preparation:
In a bowl, add room temperature peanut butter, your sweetener and applesauce, beat with the mixer for 1 minute.

Add half of the oats, cornstarch and baking powder, and gently mix it in, until the dough starts to form.

Add the rest of the oats and mix until everything comes together.

If the dough is too sticky to work with, place the cookie dough in the freezer for 5 minutes.

Scoop the cookie dough (3540 grams) and roll with your hands, you'll end up with 12 equal balls.

Flatten a bit and transfer to a lined baking tray.

Using a fork, press down each cookie to create authentic criss cross marks.

Bake cookies at 350F (180C) for 10 minutes.

Let it cool on a baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

When completely cool, serve and enjoy with your favorite milk.
