yet another cookie from martha stewart’s cookies.  i’ve made these in the past and they’re very moist and chewy.  for some reason the icing doesn’t come out like the picture shows and i think i’ve decided that i like them better without the icing altogether.  i also wonder sometimes if my cookies would come out differently if i didn’t waste time during the cooking process taking pictures { you know, like letting something mix for 7 minutes versus the 3 it calls for because i can’t find my 30mm lens }.  hmm…i should work on that.

iced applesauce oatmeal cookies.

ingredients:

directions:

1. make cookies: preheat oven to 350. put butter and sugars in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. mix on low speed until combined. add egg and applesauce, mix until well blended, 2 to 3 minutes. mix in oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. mix in raisins.
2. using a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop, drop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing 2 inches apart. bake cookies until golden and just set, 13 to 15 minutes. let cool on sheets 5 minutes. transfer cookies to a wire rack set over parchment paper; let cool completely.
3. make icing: whisk confectioners’ sugar, syrup, and 3 tablespoons water until smooth. drizzle over cookies, let set.
