Oatmeal Cookies have always been one of my favorite. I just love cookies in general, but there is something about oatmeal and cinnamon that is just so simple and pure. But today, we are going to spice it up with a little peanut butter and chocolate chips. Just because I felt like it.

1 cup all purpose flour

Pre heat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together vegan butter, peanut butter, white sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and applesauce. Slowly mix in the flour.
