Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup dairy-free shortening
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup molasses
2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar, for coating

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together shortening, brown sugar, applesauce, and molasses until well combined.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Slowly add flour mixture to shortening mixture; mix until combined. Transfer dough to refrigerator and let chill for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • Using your hands, form dough into 1-inch balls. Place granulated sugar in a shallow dish; roll each ball in sugar. Place on prepared baking sheet and sprinkle a few drops of water onto each ball using your fingers.
  • Transfer baking sheet to oven and bake until lightly browned, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cookies cool completely on baking sheet before serving.
