Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter , softened
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 2/3 cup applesauce
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Decoration
- 1/3 cup white chocolate , melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter with the sugar until fluffy, approximatelyt 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg, then mix again to combine. Pour in the applesauce and mix once more to fully incorporate.
- Separately, whisk or sift the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Using a spatula, combine the dry and wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, place the cookie dough onto the cookie sheet and pat down to flatten. Leave 1 or 2 inches spaces between the cookies, as they will spread when baking.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until the surface looks golden. Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, drizzle with melted white chocolate.
