Pin Recipe
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter - room temperature
- ½ cup brown sugar - coconut sugar or monkfruit sweetener (sugar-free)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- ½ tsp ground cloves
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
Topping:
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar - coconut sugar or monkfruit sweetener (sugar-free)
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Tip: I like to lightly spray the baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray, then lay the parchment on top. This helps the parchment to stick.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar with a hand mixer.
- Mix in the applesauce, vanilla extract, and egg.
- Add the all purpose flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix until just combined.
- Use a spoon or cookie scoop to place the cookies onto the baking sheet. Bake for 15-18 minutes.
- In a small bowl combine the sugar and cinnamon for topping.
- Generously sprinkle over top of each cookie. Place on a rack to cool completely.
Recipe Notes:
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
