Unbaked Chocolate Cookies

Servings 2 -3 dozen

Ingredients

• 1/2 C. butter
• 3 T. cocoa
• Pinch salt
• 2 C. sugar
• 1/2 C. applesauce
• 3 C. quick-cooking oats
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 C. nuts (opt.) chopped

Instructions

• In a heavy 2-quart pan, melt butter over low heat. Stir in cocoa. Add salt, sugar and applesauce. Stir often until mixture comes to a boil.
• Remove from heat immediately so it does not caramelize. Add oats and vanilla. If not using nuts, add more oats so cookies hold their shape.
• Drop by heaping tablespoons onto wax paper. Allow cookies to cool and dry before storing. If sticky, roll in powdered sugar. Makes 2-3 dozen.
