How to Make Harvest Spice Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ½ cup shortening, 1 cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ cup applesauce.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground allspice, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1 cup rolled oats.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup dried cranberries and ½ cup chopped pecans.
  7. Using a 2 ½-inch ice cream scoop, drop cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
