Chocolate-Fudge Cookie Bites

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
• 1/4 cup margarine, softened
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 4 oz unsweetened applesauce
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp table salt
• 2 Tbsp powdered sugar

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Coat two nonstick cookie sheets with cooking spray.
2. Place cocoa, margarine and sugar in a medium bowl; beat with an electric mixer. Add applesauce and vanilla; beat to blend. Stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Stir flour mixture into cocoa batter by hand.
3. Shape batter into 48 marble-sized balls. Arrange balls 1 inch apart on cookie sheets. Bake until set, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and allow cookies to stand for 1 minute. Remove to wire rack and cool; sprinkle with powdered sugar. (To maintain their freshness, pack extras in freezer-safe containers or plastic bags.) Yields 1 cookie per serving.
