applesauce

🥗Healthier: unsweetened applesauce

💰Cheaper: mashed bananas

Mashed bananas provide moisture and sweetness.

Set aside 1/4 cup white sugar for later use.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 and 1/4 cups flour, 2 and 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves. Mix well.

In another large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/4 cup molasses, and 1/4 cup egg substitute. Blend with a hand mixer for 2 minutes.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until fully combined.

Transfer the dough back into the bowl and refrigerate for about 4 hours or overnight, covered with plastic wrap.

After chilling, scoop out dough and form into balls about 2 inches in size, rolling them in the reserved white sugar before placing them on a baking sheet.

Place the baking sheet in the oven preheated to 350°F for about 10 to 12 minutes.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before serving.
