- Slightly heat coconut oil in a small bowl. In a separate bowl whisk together, eggs, applesauce, coconut oil, peanut butter and vanilla extract. Add truvia brown sugar blend. Whisk again until smooth and there are no clumps of brown sugar.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Mix well until combined. Batter will be very thick. Fold in half (2tbsp.) of the Reese’s chips. Let batter rest in fridge for 30-40 minutes
- Use a cookie scooper and scoop the batter into 16 cookies on a prepared baking sheet. Add the reaming 2 tbsp. of Reese’s chips to the top of the cookies. About 5 chips per cookie.
- Bake for 5-6 minutes. The less you cook, the more moist and chewy they will be. If over cooked, they will get very dry.
Notes
Can sub regular brown sugar if you can’t find the truvia brown sugar blend.
