How To Make applesauce jumbles

Step 1

Mix all ingredients, except glaze. (If dough is soft, cover and refrigerate). Heat oven to 375. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet.

Step 2

Bake until almost no indentation remains when touched, about 10 minutes. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Cool; spread with Browned Butter Glaze. *If using self rising flour, omit salt and baking soda.
Step 3

For Browned Butter Glaze: Heat 1/3 cup butter over low heat until golden brown; remove from heat. Stir in 2 cups powdered sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla. Beat in 2-4 tablespoons hot water until smooth and of desired consistency.
