ICED OATMEAL-APPLESAUCE COOKIES



Iced Oatmeal-Applesauce Cookies image

These soft, chewy cookies capture the flavor of a warm bowl of apple-cinnamon oatmeal.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes about 2 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup chunky-style applesauce
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup golden raisins
1 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Steps:

  • Make cookies: Preheat oven to 350. Put butter and sugars in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until combined. Add egg and applesauce, mix until well blended, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix in raisins.
  • Using a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop, drop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake cookies until golden and just set, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool on sheets 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack set over parchment paper; let cool completely.
  • Make icing: Whisk confectioners' sugar, syrup, and 3tablespoons water until smooth. Drizzle over cookies, let set.

Tips:

  • Use the right type of apples: Some apples, like Granny Smith, are better for baking than others. They hold their shape well and have a tart flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of the sugar.
  • Peel and core the apples before cooking: This will help the applesauce to cook evenly and prevent the skins from getting tough.
  • Don't overcook the applesauce: The applesauce should be cooked until the apples are soft, but not mushy. Otherwise, the cookies will be too soft and crumbly.
  • Use a food processor or blender to puree the applesauce: This will help to create a smooth and lump-free applesauce.
  • Add some spices to the applesauce: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all popular spices that can be added to applesauce. They will add flavor and warmth to the cookies.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: This will help to create crispy edges and a chewy center.

Conclusion:

Applesauce cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover applesauce, and they can be made with a variety of different spices and add-ins. Whether you like them plain or loaded with nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit, there's an applesauce cookie recipe out there for everyone.
