15 Oil‑Free Christmas Cookie Recipes (Applesauce Magic)

Classic Applesauce Sugar Cookies

Classic Applesauce Sugar Cookies are a delightful twist on traditional sugar cookies, offering a moist and tender texture thanks to the addition of applesauce. These cookies are not only oil-free but also bring a hint of sweetness from the applesauce, making them a perfect treat for the holiday season or any time of year. With their wonderfully soft centers and slightly crisp edges, they are sure to be a hit with everyone!

Cooking Steps Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to guarantee it reaches the perfect temperature for baking your cookies.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. This will help to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices throughout the flour.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and applesauce until well combined. Next, add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
5. Shape the Cookies: Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each cookie as they will spread slightly during baking.
6. Flatten the Cookies: Gently press each dough ball down with the back of a fork or your hand to flatten them slightly. This will help them bake evenly and achieve the desired texture.
7. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will continue to set as they cool.
8. Cool the Cookies: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Dust with Powdered Sugar: If desired, sprinkle powdered sugar over the cooled cookies for an extra touch of sweetness and decorative flair.
10. Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your classic applesauce sugar cookies with a cup of tea or coffee, or package them up as gifts for friends and family during the holiday season!
