Zubereitung von Best Oatmeal Cookies Made Lighter
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, applesauce, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the rolled oats and chopped nuts.
- Cover the bowl and chill the dough for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up.
- Once chilled, scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- For the sugared tops: Place 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a shallow dish. Gently press the bottom of a small glass into the sugar. Press the sugared bottom of the glass onto each cookie to flatten it to about 1/4 inch thickness. Repeat for each cookie, re-sugaring the glass as needed.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
