Chocolate Applesauce Cookies

Chocolate and applesauce flavored cookies that are melt-in-your-mouth tender and delicious. So flavorful and light, you simply can't have just one!

I have a splitting headache as I write this post tonight so am afraid you won't get much of a write-up with this cookie recipe. Suffice it to say these chocolate and apple flavored soft cookies will become your kids' favorite. I can say that as my two tots absolutely loved these. Oh yes, hubby and I had a fair share of these cookies, too. So flavorful and quite light, you simply can't have just one. They are uncomplicated to assemble too so even your kids can help you make these. Make it a baking weekend and make these with your family. Please enjoy!

Ingredients

1 cup Flour
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon ground Cinnamon
1/2 cup Sugar
1 stick (1/2 cup) Butter, softened
3/4 cup unsweetened Applesauce

1/2 cup Chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped Pecans or Walnuts (optional)

Procedure

Combine the flour, leavening agents, salt and cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, cream the sugar and butter until well-mixed. Beat in the applesauce.

Stir in the flour mixture until everything is well-blended. Fold in the chocolate chips and the nuts (if using).

The mixture may be a little wet to handle. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours so it's easier to manage.

Preheat the oven to 375F. Grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.

Drop the refrigerated cookie dough  by rounded teaspoonfuls (or 1/2 tablespoons) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2-inch apart. These are just mini-bite size cookies.

Bake the cookies for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy each sumptuous bite! :-)
