Cowgirl Cookies 
Makes 23 cookies 

4 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour 
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp salt 
2 cups vegan margarine, softened (we usually use Earth Balance)
2 cups unsweetened peanut butter
1 ½ cups cane sugar
1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar
2 cups unsweetened applesauce
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
5 cups gluten-free quick cooking oats
4 cups semisweet vegan chocolate chips 
2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts (toasted)

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat. Heat oven to 350°. 

Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. 

Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and roast in the oven at 500 degrees for 5-10 minutes. (keep checking).

In a large mixing bowl, beat margarine and peanut butter with cane and brown sugars until creamy. Beat in vanilla and applesauce until smooth. Slowly stir in the flour mixture. Then stir in oats, chocolate chips and nuts until incorporated. Drop cookie dough by ½ cup size scoop-fulls onto the baking sheet, no need to flatten. Bake for 16-18 minutes, until lightly browned.
