Ingredients

  • 1 spray(s) cooking spray, or more if needed
  • 1/3 cup(s) unsweetened cocoa
  • 1/4 cup(s) margarine, softened
  • 3/4 cup(s) sugar
  • 4 oz unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cup(s) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp table salt
  • 2 Tbsp powdered sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Coat two nonstick cookie sheets with cooking spray.

Place cocoa, margarine and sugar in a medium bowl; beat with an electric mixer. Add applesauce and vanilla; beat to blend. In another small bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Stir flour mixture into cocoa batter with a wooden spoon.

Shape batter into 48 marble-sized balls. Arrange balls 1 inch apart on cookie sheets. Bake until set, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and allow cookies to stand for 1 minute. Remove to wire rack and cool; sprinkle with powdered sugar. (Note: Store extra cookies in freezer-safe containers or plastic bags to maintain their freshness.) Yields 1 cookie per serving.
