Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies with Maple Glaze

The maple syrup used in Monday's recipe got me excited to use it again (granted, I made both in one day-- so ingredients on hand were key!).  These cookies were so moist and tasty-  I could have eaten the whole batch.  Good thing I was sending most away!!

Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies with Maple Glaze

adapted from Baked by Rachel

Ingredients
4 tbsp butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup applesauce
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 tbsp water
2 tbsp maple syrup

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl or stand mixer (I used my BRAND NEW Kitchen Aid mixer), cream butter and sugars.

Add egg and applesauce, mix until blended well. Add baking powder, baking soda, salt, flour and oats. Mix well. Stir in white chocolate chips and cranberries.

Prepare baking sheet (mine are air bake, so I didn't have to do anything to prep) Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop and space dough mounds a few inches apart.

Bake 14-15 minutes or until golden around the edge. Remove cookies to a wire rack to cool completely and put wax paper underneath wire cooling racks.

In a small bowl whisk powdered sugar, water and maple syrup together until smooth and creamy. Place a wire rack over parchment paper. With cookies on wire rack, drizzle glaze over cookies.

You can eat immediately, store for a few days, or freeze.
