Pin ItHow to Make Oatmeal Applesauce Cookies
- Make the dry mix: Add the flour, baking powder, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to a bowl and stir to combine.
- Prepare the wet mix: Add the butter, sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, vanilla, and egg to another bowl and whisk to combine.
- Create the dough: Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir to combine. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Shape the cookies: Scoop the dough into one-and-a-half tablespoon-sized balls. Place the applesauce cookie dough balls on the prepared sheets, leaving enough space for them to spread. Lightly flatten each dough ball with the palm of your hand.
- Bake: Bake the applesauce oatmeal cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, checking for browned edges. Remove the applesauce cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
Make Ahead and Freezing Instructions
To Make Ahead: Oatmeal applesauce cookies can be made up to two months in advance. Just bake them, let them cool, and store them in the freezer. You can also keep them at room temperature for a week or in the refrigerator for up to a month.
To Freeze: Freeze the cookies in a single layer on the baking sheet until they’re firm. Transfer the frozen applesauce cookies to a freezer bag labeled with the date and the type of cookie. Store them in a safe area of the freezer where they won’t get crushed in the next three months.
