Do you guys have a go-to cookie recipe?  Well this has become my go-to cookie recipe lately.  It is a yummy, moist and crowd pleasing recipe.   And it makes a lot of cookies so if you’re not taking them to a social get together then I suggest half-ing the recipe because if you don’t you will end up eating them all yourself!  🙂

 

 And I think my kids would say the cookie dough is even better than the cookies!

    My favorite treat is cookies, and these Applesauce cookies look so delicious. I have my favorite Sugar Cookies that I make and they are soft and chewy. But what I like about these cookies is that they have chocolate chips and applesauce. I must make these!

  3. They sound delicious!
  4. These look very yummy. And I like the applesauce to sneak a little nutrition into the food. Any way I can sneak fruits and veggies in is awesome! I tend to make a Pan Chocolate Chip cookie as my go-to recipe. In fact, just made one today. Wish I had seen this one first. :-)
