Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups quick cooking oats (149 grams)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (192 grams)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (4 grams)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda (4 grams)
- 1 teaspoon salt (6 grams)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (4 grams)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional--I did not use.)
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar (220 grams)
- 1/2 cup white sugar (100 grams)
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup applesauce (6 ounces)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup raisins (optional)
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Grease cookie sheets.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the quick oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg, set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and applesauce.
- Stir the oatmeal mixture into the batter until well blended then fold in the chocolate chips, raisins and walnuts. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
I haven’t converted to using a scale yet, but I know my baking would be much improved if I finally took the leap and made the purchase. You may have just pushed me over the edge! Cookies look delish!

Lots of cookies that use only butter end up like that in my experience, I’m not sure why. Helpful huh? 🙂
I have an oatmeal scotchie recipe that did this until I changed up the ingredients a little. I’m going to have to compare this recipe with those two recipes and see what I can do. We loved the taste!
Tammy, thanks for the great party! This Chocolate Lava Cake recipe has become so popular that it is currently my top viewed post 🙂
Ooh–chocolate . . . lava . . . cake! I can see why that would be popular! Thanks for linking up!
I love those bamboo cutting boards! Thanks for the link-up!
Aren’t they great! They can even hang for those who love to hang things from hooks!
Yum! I am pinning this for later! Thanks!
Thanks for the pin, Meeghan! You amaze me with all you are able to do with your new baby!
I am so jealous of your food scale!
I think I’m going to love it! It is so small yet efficient!
So many yummy recipes! Thank you for the link up!
Thanks for linking up! You can’t look at all those pictures until after you eat!
Love the theme……….looks nice and clean!!!
Zan, I am so thankful that you pointed out that you couldn’t see the posts. Someone else mentioned it to me, so I started calling my hosting and asking questions in the blog help group. Short story–I changed themes. Now I have a lot of work to do, but if no one can see the posts and link up to the parties, then why blog?
I have never used a food scale before and wasn’t for sure how I would use it if I gotten one. Looks like I may need it to help the portion of foods I eat. I keep hearing good things about the bamboo cutting boards. I need to stop staling and just get them already! And yum, your cookies looks so good! #ProductReviewParty
Thanks, Louida! The scale was fun to use, and the bamboo cutting boards are nice too! I used one today!
Every type of scale takes forever to zero out! I hate that. I just received some awesome bamboo cutting boards too and am in love!
I have never thought of using a scale in the kitchen to get my ingredients exact. My husband would love this because he hates how I guess.
Great recipe Tammy! I found some other good ones too- fun link up.
