What does applesauce do in cookies?

Applesauce is a popular substitute for butter and oil in baking recipes, an easy way to cut down the calories. In these cookies it is used for moisture and flavor.

Why do cookies get hard after they cool?

When left out over time the moisture starts to evaporate leaving your cookies dry and hard on the outside. It happens to breads, muffins, and other baked goods as well. The longer they sit, the more stale they become. Try storing them in an air tight container to preserve the moisture.

Add in the applesauce and vanilla to your mix now and blend it all together.
In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir this mixture into your cocoa batter with a wooden spoon.

The dough can be a little sticky to work with. If you find that it is too sticky just chill the dough in the refrigerator first. After baking you can store your cookies in a tightly covered container to maintain their freshness.
