Ingredients
4 spray(s) cooking spray  
3/4 cup(s) sugar  
1/3 cup(s) unsweetened cocoa powder  
4 Tbsp regular butter, softened  
      4 oz unsweetened applesauce  
1 tsp vanilla extract  
1 3/4 cup(s) all purpose flour  
1 tsp baking powder  
1/4 tsp table salt  
2 Tbsp powdered sugar  
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Coat two nonstick cookie sheets with cooking spray or cover with parchment paper.

Place sugar, cocoa powder and butter in a medium bowl; beat with an electric mixer. Add applesauce and vanilla; beat to blend.

In another small bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Stir flour mixture into cocoa batter with a wooden spoon.

Shape batter into 40 marble-size balls with your hands; place 1-inch apart on prepared cookie sheets. Bake until set, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and allow cookies to stand for 1 minute. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely; sprinkle with powdered sugar. Yields 1 cookie per serving.
Notes
The dough is a little sticky. If it's too difficult for you to work with, chill the dough in the refrigerator first.

Store cookies in a tightly covered container to maintain freshness.
