Yield 60 to 72 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

2 cups flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup applesauce, recipe follows
1 1/2 cups raisins
Powdered sugar, for garnish
6 apples, McIntosh preferred
1 cup water
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, optional

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients and set aside.
In the bowl of a standing mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter. Add the brown sugar and continue creaming. Then add the eggs and applesauce mixing well. Gradually add the dry ingredients and raisins to make dough.
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto a greased cookie sheet (save those butter papers!) and bake until light golden brown, about 9 to13 minutes. The cookies do not brown very much. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Peel and core apples and cut into quarters. Place them in an enamel sauce pan with the water and lemon juice then bring to a boil then turn the heat down slightly and simmer 30 minutes to break them down and get them to thicken. Take off the heat and stir in the sugar and cinnamon, if using.

Tips:

Use cold butter. Cold butter creates a flakier cookie. If you don't have time to chill the butter, you can freeze it for 15 minutes before using.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the cookies to be chewy and tender.
Add the eggs one at a time. This will help to prevent the cookies from becoming tough.
Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape.
Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
Let the cookies cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

These apple sauce sugar cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are soft, chewy, and flavorful, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
