This is a healthier cookie but is still delicious! From one of my favourite cookbooks, "One Smart Cookie", by Julie Van Rosendaal. Dough needs an hour to chill before rolling out.

Ingredients

  • cup stick butter or 1/4 cup margarine, softened1⁄4 cup
  • packed brown sugar1 1⁄4 cups
  • applesauce1⁄4 cup
  • large egg1
  • vanilla1 teaspoon
  • flour2 1⁄4 cups
  • baking powder2 teaspoons
  • cinnamon1 teaspoon
  • salt1⁄2 teaspoon

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, beat margarine, brown sugar, applesauce and egg until smooth.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Add to the applesauce mixture, stirring by hand just until you have a soft dough. Divide the dough in half, wrap each half in plastic and refrigerate for at least an hour or until well chilled.

  3. 3

    When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll dough 1/8 inch thick between two sheets of waxed paper. Cut with a 2 1/2 inch cookie cutter or glass rim, and place 1 inch apart on a cookie sheet that has been lightly sprayed with nonstick spray.

  4. 4

    Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, until edges are golden. Bake 5 minutes longer for darker golden, crispier cookies. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
