Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup stick butter or 1/4 cup margarine, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup applesauce
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Method

  • In a large bowl, beat margarine, brown sugar, applesauce and egg until smooth.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Add to the applesauce mixture, stirring by hand just until you have a soft dough. Divide the dough in half, wrap each half in plastic and refrigerate for at least an hour or until well chilled.
  • When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll dough 1/8 inch thick between two sheets of waxed paper. Cut with a 2 1/2 inch cookie cutter or glass rim, and place 1 inch apart on a cookie sheet that has been lightly sprayed with nonstick spray.
  • Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, until edges are golden. Bake 5 minutes longer for darker golden, crispier cookies. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
