These Iced Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies are perfectly sweet!
Yep. More apples. y’all.
If you’re looking to overdo a seasonal ingredient, you’ve come to the right place. Because I’m not of the opinion there is “too much of a good thing” in pretty much any aspect of life. Good things can come in abundance. I won’t hate it, that’s for sure.
I mean has anyone ever heard someone say, oh gosh..please, don’t make me THAT rich. That’s just TOO MUCH MONEY.
Or, please I don’t really want to have THAT many cute purses. Too many cute accessories might be hazardous.
No one ever says that. Ever.
So my point…apples. They’re good, they’re in season and I plan on WERKing them OUT.
I thought I would try to make a slightly lighter cookie…and sub in some applesauce for the butter. What ended up happening was I got a delicious cookie, with less butter…but I wouldn’t exactly call it “light”. There is a whole mess of brown sugar in there…and of course I made a delicious maple glaze to ice them with.
BUT I will say they are pretty tasty with a cup of coffee in the morning. Which basically has nothing to do with anything but I thought I would mention it.
So let’s talk details.I mixed in some applesauce right into the sugar and butter. It kind of looked a little bit curdled and I thought I might have messed up…but I di’int. Just press on.
Add in your flour, oats etc and you’ll have normal cookie dough.
Plus throw in a few apples for good measure.
Drop it on a lined baking sheet and bake!
The glaze is also super simple…just powdered sugar, maple syrup and a little heavy cream.
When the cookies are done drizzle the icing all over…
You could even make the icing a bit thicker by adding less cream and spread the icing on top, if you’d prefer a thicker layer.
