• 1 1/4 cups white whole wheat flour
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• dash salt
• 1/2 cup apple butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat together apple butter and sugars until combined. Beat in almond milk, vanilla and butter flavoring. Slowly add in dry ingredients, beating until just combined. Beat in chocolate chips. Cover and chill dough for 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
3. Preheat oven to 375. Line a large baking sheet with silpat or parchment paper.Use a small cookie scoop, or roll dough into 1" balls. Add a tiny pinch (or more if you want them to have the "salted" taste) of sea salt to the top of each cookie dough ball.
4. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and just set. Do not over bake. Allow to cool completely on cookie sheet. Store in a loosely covered container for 5-7 days.
