Healthy Oatmeal Applesauce Cookies Recipes

3 INGREDIENT HEALTHY APPLESAUCE OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, add applesauce and oats. Mix with a spoon until evenly combined and all oats are moistened. Stir in mix-ins (you can add them onto the cookies right before baking instead for a prettier presentation. See notes for more details).
• Use a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop and scoop dough balls, placing them onto prepared baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart. Using the back of your spoon or the palm of your hand, press down on dough balls to form thick round disks (about 3/8 inch thick). The cookies will not spread or change shape during baking so shape them as needed until they are how you want them to be.
• Bake cookies about 13-15 minutes or until they are set. If you are unsure if the cookies are set, use a cookie spatula and try to lift a cookie off of the baking sheet. You should be able to lift the cookie off of the sheet in one piece when they are done. Let cookies cool before removing and eating. Store cookies in airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days or in the fridge or freezer for longer.

HEALTHY OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
• In a medium bowl, combine the applesauce, butter, egg, vanilla, and honey. Whisk until blended. Pour the liquid mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until combined. The dough will be wet and sticky. Fold in the chocolate chips, raisins, and walnuts. Place in the refrigerator and let chill for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 days.
• When ready to bake, place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet. Remove the dough from the refrigerator (if it is very stiff, you may need to let it sit out for 5 to 10 minutes). With a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and arrange on the baking sheet, leaving 1 inch of space around each. With your fingers, gently flatten each cookie to be about 3/4-inch thick.
• Bake until the cookies are golden and firm around the edges and set on top, about 9 to 10 minutes. Place the baking sheet on a wire rack and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer the cookies to the rack to cool completely.
