At the end of the fall quarter, everyone was scrambling to use up their perishable food before going home for the winter break. My friend practically lives off of applesauce and had two large jars of it with only a few days left before break. Since we had both already finished our finals, we spent our time searching for ways to use the applesauce and stumbled across this delicious and healthy recipe. Applesauce is an unusual baking ingredient and we were hesitant about using it, but these cookies were absolutely amazing! They are moist, dense, and cakey. For fun, we decided to jazz them up a bit and melted some canned frosting in the microwave and drizzled it over the top. This recipe made a lot of cookies, so we went to everyone's room and gave them a much needed treat while they studied for finals.
