  • Use ripe apples. Applesauce made from ripe apples will have the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough. Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature. The cookies should be baked at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  • Let the cookies cool before serving. Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
