3. Pour the applesauce mixture into the flour mixture and stir until combined
4. Lay out a large piece of plastic wrap, and place the dough onto the wrap.

6. Using your hands in a rolling motion, form the dough into a log.
7. Place in the freezer for 45-60 minutes.
8. Preheat oven to 325° F
9. Spray a baking sheet with an organic non-stick cooking spray (I used an organic olive oil spray)
10. Unwrap the log of dough and slice into 1/4 inch thick cookies.
11. Evenly spread the cookies on the baking sheet.
12. Bake for 25 minutes.
