How to Make Applesauce Raisin Chews
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened margarine and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the rolled oats and raisins.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, store the Applesauce Raisin Chews in an airtight container at room temperature.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
