Maine Mud Cookies

​Ah, cookies, my favorite thing to bake. Mostly because I know that I’m good at it… when using my oven anyway. They are also an easy thing to make when you’re wanting to take something to a party… who doesn’t love cookies? I chose these ones because they didn’t seem weird (I’m still putting off those potato chip cookies), but interesting. Plus they were from Maine, which I would like to be my next vacation.

The ingredients include applesauce, which is strange to me, but I feel like it makes the cookie that much more soft, moist, and delicious. And the basis of this being chocolate, you can’t go wrong! Mix everything up in a bowl and bake. They came out perfect!

I didn’t do the whole, smooth into irregular shapes thing, because I feel like my cookies always come out in irregular shapes and didn’t want to do that extra step just for looks. They baked the same regardless I’m sure and the shape wouldn’t affect the taste! I’d recommend these cookies if you’re looking for something slightly different. They were soft, yet had a cake consistency that was delicious.
