  • If you don't have any applesauce, you can use mashed bananas instead.
  • For a sweeter cookie, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the dough.
  • If you want a chewier cookie, reduce the amount of flour in the dough by 1/4 cup.
  • Sprinkle the cookies with cinnamon sugar before baking for a delicious cinnamon flavor.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
