How to Make Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease or line baking sheets.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine ½ cup unsweetened applesauce and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Let sit for 5 minutes to activate the baking soda.
- In another bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon ground cloves.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 ½ cups rolled oats, ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional), ½ cup chocolate chips (optional), and ½ cup raisins (optional).
- Gently stir until all ingredients are evenly moistened.
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
