- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (softened)

- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 5 drops Red food coloring

Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and applesauce to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Step 6
Divide the cookie dough into four equal parts in separate bowls.
Step 7
Add red food coloring to one bowl, yellow to the second, green to the third, and blue to the fourth. Mix each bowl until the color is even.
Step 8
Take small portions (about a teaspoon each) of each colored dough and press them together lightly to form a multicolored dough ball. Repeat until all dough is used.
Step 9
Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Step 10
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set, but the center is still soft.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 12
Serve and enjoy your delightful low-fat rainbow cookies!
