Tips:
- Use ripe apples: Ripening apples have a sweeter flavor and more tender texture, resulting in better applesauce and tastier cookies.
- Make your own applesauce: Homemade applesauce allows you to control the sweetness and consistency, ensuring the perfect applesauce for your cookies.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking, resulting in thicker, chewy cookies.
- Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop helps ensure uniform cookie sizes, which is essential for even baking.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown: The cookies should be slightly browned around the edges but still soft in the center when done.
