Do you need a new easy cookie recipe?  These Farmhouse Applesauce Raisin Cookies are delicious, moist, easy to make and call for simple ingredients that you likely have on hand!

Moist Cookies with Applesauce and Raisins

We like simple cookies that taste good!  This vintage recipe has been in the family for years and it’s a nice, classic cookie.  It doesn’t take fancy ingredients to make a great cookie swap cookie or special afternoon treat for loved ones.

Regular raisins work very well in this recipe.  Another benefit of having extra raisins on hand is they are a healthy snack that the kids love.

The original recipe also calls for 1 cup of nut meats chopped.  I don’t have nut meats sitting around, so we just buy nut topping or chopped nuts, or whatever is most economical and in a reasonable size package at whatever grocery store we’re shopping at that day.

I have noticed quite a variety in the chopped nut offerings.  If you have a favorite nut I would recommend using that.  I think these cookies would be delicious without the nuts too.

Easy Baking Recipes with Applesauce

I love using applesauce to keep baked goods moist and delicious.  Here are a couple other delicious family favorite recipes that feature applesauce, Cinnamon Applesauce Cake and Farmhouse Applesauce Bars.  I like the moisture, texture and sweetness applesauce ads with being overwhelmingly sweet.  These  applesauce treats all have wonderful flavor profiles.  And anytime there’s leftover applesauce the kids love gobbling it up!

      Yes! I have used regular applesauce before and it will work fine. Will be a bit sweeter unless you reduce the sugar. I hope this recipe works well for you!

      Hey There! I haven’t tested it, but I think you can use the full amount of sugar or cut it and the cookies should work well either way. Hope you enjoy the recipe as much as we do!

    I found that I needed to add an additional few minutes to the bake time. The edges are light brown but the underside of the cookies remain light. The dough is baked thoroughly and I use light color aluminum pans. Are the bottoms supposed to be brown? I do not want to add more time than I already have since it may dry out the cookies.

    I enjoyed these cookies, although I left out the nuts. They are soft and very flavorful.
