APPLESAUCE COOKIES

Applesauce Cookies

½ stick unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed light brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
½ cup chunky-style applesauce
1½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup golden raisins
¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper, and place parchment paper on a wire cooling rack.

Mix the butter and sugars on low speed in the bowl of a standing mixer until combined.  Add egg and applesauce and beat for about 2 to 3 minutes, until thoroughly blended.

Mix in the dry ingredients — oats, flour, baking soda and powder, and salt — and then stir in the raisins.

Drop 1½-inch balls of dough onto your baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.  Bake until golden and just set, 13 to 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to the wire rack. Let cookies cool completely.
