Tips:

  • Use fresh applesauce. Fresh applesauce will give your cookies a more intense apple flavor. If you don't have fresh applesauce, you can use store-bought unsweetened applesauce, but be sure to add a little bit of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to brighten the flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. Letting the cookies cool completely before storing them will help them keep their shape and texture.

Conclusion:

Applesauce drop cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're soft and chewy, with a sweet and tangy apple flavor. These cookies are also a great way to use up leftover applesauce. So next time you have some extra applesauce on hand, be sure to give these cookies a try!
