Equipment

  • Scale
  • Wooden spatula from Forest Decor
  • Ice cream scooper with trigger
  • Simple hand mixer

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Vegetable oil I used sunflower
  • ¾ cup Dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup Granulated sugar
  • cup Apple sauce unsweetened
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 2+½ cups All-purpose flour or GF flour blend
  • 1 Tbsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • ½ tsp Salt

Cinnamon sugar

  • ¼ cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine oil, sugars, apple sauce, and vanilla. Use a hand mixer to beat together on low speed for 2 minutes until well emulsified.
  • Stir in the flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda until completely incorporated. The mixture should be very thick but still soft. If too stiff, add 1-2 Tablespoons of non-dairy milk.
  • Cover and allow to chill for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F/190C. Line baking sheets with parchment.
  • Scoop 2 Tbsp amounts of dough. Roll into balls and gently cover them with cinnamon sugar.
  • Place the balls 2-3 inches apart on a lined baking sheet. Don't flatten them.
  • Bake for 8-12 minutes until just barely golden brown around the edges. I need 12 minutes in my non-fan oven to get them perfect.
  • Remove from the oven and cool them on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack. Cookies will puff up more in the oven and collapse slightly as they cool.

Notes

Add 1-2 tbsp/15-30ml non-dairy milk or water to thin the consistency if it is too stiff. Reasons for that could be that you use homemade apple sauce or the measurements are off.
