How to Make Apple Snickerdoodles
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 2 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the applesauce, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and the ground cinnamon.
- Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls.
- Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated.
- Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Gently flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or fork.
- Sprinkle with extra cinnamon-sugar if desired.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove the cookies from the baking sheets immediately to prevent sticking. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
