1/3 c butter or margarine, softened
2/3 c packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 egg
1/2 c unsweetened applesauce
1 1/4 c all-purpose flour*
1 1/4 c rolled oats
1. In medium mixing bowl beat butter or margarine with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and baking soda. Beat till combined, scraping sides of bowl Beat in egg and applesauce till combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in remaining flour and the rolled oats. (Blogger note: I had NO problems mixing in my flour with the mixer.)
2. Drop dough by rounded teaspoons 2" apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a 375* oven for 8-10 minues or till ightly browned. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool. Makes about 30 cookies. (Blogger note: I got about 40 cookies!)
*I used bread flour because I am just about out of all-purpose.
I've been in the mood for cookies. I think I'll try these this weekend.
ReplyDeleteJust a note to other readers: I didn't have any applesauce, so I drained some canned fruit cocktail really well and threw it in the blender, and used that in place of the applesauce. It turned out great.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! Thanks, Amy!
