How to Make Passionate Dark Sienna Cookie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, ½ cup molasses, ¼ cup vegetable oil, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. If the dough is too dry to roll into balls, add 1-2 tablespoons of molasses, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  6. Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls. Place them about 1 ½ inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Gently flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand.
  8. Sprinkle each cookie with a few drops of water, then sprinkle lightly with granulated sugar.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Enjoy these intensely flavored cookies with your favorite beverage – a Pinot Noir is highly recommended!
