Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and a dough forms.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your low-fat cinnamon cookies with a cup of tea or coffee.
