Daily News Holiday Cookie Contest
Low-fat Michigan Rocks
 |
1 ¼ cup white sugar |
|
¼ cup brown sugar |
|
1 (24 ounce) jar of chunky Mott's applesauce |
|
4 eggs |
|
1-teaspoon baking soda in two tablespoons of hot water-mixed |
|
1-teaspoon vanilla |
|
1 dash of salt |
|
3 cups flour |
|
1 pound chopped dates |
|
1 ½ cup chopped walnuts |
|
Pam cooking spray |
- In a large bowl, by hand combine sugar, applesauce, eggs, baking soda, vanilla, and salt. Slowly blend in three cups flour.
- By hand, fold in the walnuts and dates
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray cookie sheets with Pam cooking spray. Drop tablespoons of dough onto sheets. Bake for about 10 minutes or until light brown. For a moist chewy cookie, do not over bake.
- Cool. Store in an airtight container.
- Makes four dozen large cookies.
| Because they are very moist, the cookies are different from traditional cookies. When they start to bake, they look like they are melting. When the center turns from shiny to dull, and the edges turn light brown, the cookies are done. |
| For my cookies, I use Mott's chunky applesauce. Water content of applesauce may vary from one manufacturer to another. |
| I always use traditional cookie sheets, not "air-bake" sheets that bake slower. |
