Recipe Description
Apple butter, which has no fat, helps keep these cookies moist. Because they are low in fat, they don't store well. They taste best the same day they are baked. But you can freeze the batter in a freezer zip top bag for up to a month (or refrigerate it up to a week). Just defrost in the refrigerator, scoop out the batter, and bake as directed. If you divide the batter into halves (enough for twelve cookies) or quarters, then freeze or refrigerate, you can even have freshly baked, portion controlled cookies at a moment's notice!
