Just the right mouthful of chocolaty goodness and they’re a great bite-sized treat to serve a crowd. Dust them with powdered sugar or cocoa powder to dress them up. You could also pair them with decorative toothpicks. Unsweetened applesauce gives them their moist, fudgy texture without making them too sweet. For a flavor variation, use mint or almond extract instead of the vanilla variety. Freeze extras and defrost at room temperature. The dough is a little sticky. If it's too difficult for you to work with, chill the dough in the refrigerator first. Store cookies in a tightly covered container to maintain freshness.
