Several weeks ago I looked in my pantry and saw I still had jars of canned homemade unsweetened apple sauce. Rather than eat the apple sauce plain, I thought wouldn't that taste good in oatmeal cookies?! I thought it would be like having a hand-held piece of apple crisp. I started playing around with the basic ingredients and this is what I've come up with! No eggs needed! It's a subtle but tasty cookie recipe. The cookies are soft and chewy. They remain this way even after being left on the counter for hours (even days).
Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies Recipe
Ingredient List:
1/2 cup butter or margarine (room temperature)
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce
3/4 cup flour
1 cup oats
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease cookie sheet and set a side until ready.
Mix the ingredients in order as listed below.
Cream together the butter and sugar. Then mix in the unsweetened apple sauce, cinnamon, baking soda and flour. Lastly, add in the oats.
Using a cookie scoop, evenly space and place dough on the pan. This makes approximately 15 cookies with medium scoop (1.5 T).
Bake on 350 for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Baking Tips:
There is slightly a difference when using butter vs. margarine in this recipe. Both maintain the soft and chewiness of the cookie; however, using margarine will make dough a little more wet when mixing and a little more moist after baked. Margarine will also make the cookies a tad more airy. Using butter will make the dough stiffen up more and a tad more fluffy.
This dough mixture is sticky! Don't be alarmed and enjoy!
