Cran Oat Cookies

Ingredients

• 2 (4 ounce) containers applesauce
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
• 3 cups oats
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 3/4 cup white chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

Beat applesauce, butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla together in a bowl until smooth.

Mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a separate bowl; stir into the applesauce mixture. Fold oats, cranberries, and chocolate chips into the batter; drop by oversized spoonful onto the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let cookies cool on pans for a few minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
