Applesauce Cookies

These were last week's Mad Hatters offering. I wasn't actually at the session as I took a group of Year 7s on a trip to the Vikings Exhibition at the British Museum. Apparently they went down well though with one girl gleefully telling me she ate 5!

Applesauce Cookies (from The Smart Cookie Cook)

225g butter, softened
125g powdered sugar
1/2 tsp salt
60g applesauce
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
215g all-purpose flour

100g sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 160C.

Mix together the butter, sugar, salt, applesauce, cinnamon, and vanilla until well-combined. Then gradually add in the flour. Mix until fully incorporated and smooth.

Form dough into balls by hand and place on cookie sheets. Gently flatten balls, but not too flat. Bake for 18 mins or until lightly browned.

Gently roll the warm cookies in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place on a cooling rack to cool completely.
