Time 27m

Yield 45-55 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup vegetable shortening, softened
1/3 cup granulated sugar substitute
1 egg, beaten
2 cups cake flour
1/3 cup cocoa
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup water

Steps:

  • Cream together the shortening and sugar replacement.
  • Add egg and blend well.
  • Sift all dry ingredients together and add alternately with applesauce and water to the creamed mixture.
  • Be sure to add flour first and last.
  • Drop by teaspoon onto a greased cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use ripe apples: The riper the apples, the sweeter and more flavorful your applesauce will be. You'll also need less sugar in your cookie dough.
  • Peel and core your apples: Before you cook them, make sure to peel and core your apples. This will remove the skin and seeds, which can make your applesauce grainy.
  • Cook your apples until they're soft: The best way to tell if your apples are done cooking is to insert a fork into them. If the fork goes in easily, they're ready.
  • Use a food processor or blender to puree your applesauce: This will give you a smooth and consistent puree. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can also use a potato masher.
  • Add spices to your applesauce: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all popular spices that can be added to applesauce. You can also add a bit of lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
  • Chill your dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake your cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes: The cookies should be golden brown around the edges when they're done.

Conclusion:

These applesauce cocoa cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're soft and chewy, with a sweet and cinnamony flavor. The applesauce in the cookies makes them moist and tender, while the cocoa powder adds a rich and chocolatey flavor. Whether you're looking for a snack, a dessert, or a gift, these cookies are sure to please everyone.
