1 tbsp Cinnamon (I LOVE CINNAMON!)

1/4 tsp Himalayan Sea Salt

1 Cup unsweetened applesauce

1/4 cup semisweet chocolate morsels

DIRECTIONS

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 F

2. Lightly coat baking sheet with non-stick spray (we love Trader Joe's Coconut Oil Spray!)

3. Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl.

4. Spoon out heaping tbsp's onto cookie sheet.

5. Bake for about 15 minutes or until firm.

ENJOY!

Good luck eating just 2...luckily, my hubby and son help me! We usually make these once a week.
