- 1 egg
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup oatmeal
- ½ teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix together applesauce, brown sugar, butter, and egg.

If making this recipe ahead of time, you can always freeze these cookies. These cookies freeze extremely well.
If you are making them in advance, we highly recommend placing them an air tight container, and layering wax paper between each cookie layer.
This will avoid the cookies sticking together.
Remove them from the freezer, 24 hours before serving. Calories: 81kcal | Carbohydrates: 13g | Protein: 1g | Fat: 3g | Saturated Fat: 2g | Trans Fat: 1g | Cholesterol: 11mg | Sodium: 89mg | Potassium: 28mg | Fiber: 1g | Sugar: 7g | Vitamin A: 88IU | Vitamin C: 1mg | Calcium: 9mg | Iron: 1mg
