Nutrition Facts : ServingSize 1 Serving

Tips:

  • Use fresh apples for the applesauce: Fresh apples will give your cookies the best flavor. If you don't have fresh apples, you can use store-bought unsweetened applesauce.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make your cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges.
  • Let the cookies cool before serving: Let the cookies cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to set and prevent them from falling apart.
