Joan's Notes:

In addition to being some of the best spice cookies you’ll ever eat, these may also be the easiest since you don’t need an electric mixer to prepare the dough. You can also make them without diced apples, or substitute dried cranberries.

Directions

Preheat oven to 325°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper, or coat with cooking spray.

Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in large bowl.

Whisk together oil, applesauce, and molasses in separate large bowl. Whisk in 3/4 cup sugar. Stir in flour mixture with spatula. Fold in diced apple.

Place remaining 1/2 cup sugar in bowl. Roll 1/4 cup dough into ball, then roll ball in sugar. Repeat with remaining dough. Place balls on prepared baking sheets.

Put baking sheets in oven, and bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until tops of cookies are dry and bottoms are golden brown. Transfer to wire rack to cool.

Joan-
This sounds amazing. I just can't visualize 1/4 cup of dough for each cookie? That big? Please confirm.

Claudia, when I made mine, I just made them reg size..If I remembered right, I made each 1/4 cup into 4 pieces. They were very tasty and stayed soft.

I have made them like that it makes big monster cookies. Good for a bake sale. but for the holidays i use a cookie scoop and do smaller size to put on cookie tray so they don't take up too much room. they are good either way. they stay chewy and soft for a long time.
