Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together 1½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats, 1¼ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt; set aside.
-
Step 2.
Using an electric mixer, beat 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter (at room temperature), ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and ¼ cup granulated sugar in a large bowl on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
-
Step 3.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in 1 large egg (at room temperature) until fully incorporated. Then add ½ cup unsweetened applesauce (at room temperature) and 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
-
Step 4.
Gradually add the reserved flour-oat mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Fold in 2 cups (2 ounces) finely chopped freeze-dried strawberries with a spatula.
-
Step 5.
Scoop balls of dough, about 2 tablespoons each, onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake until golden brown around the edges but still soft in the middle, 12 to 16 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 4 minutes before serving or transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
