Can I substitute unsweetened applesauce for one of the sticks of butter?

It could conceivably make a decent bar cookie- maybe with some added baking soda- but definitely a science experiment.

Not really. The cookies will be very gummy. If you can't eat butter, try coconut oil.

Agree with HalfPint.
You may have heard that applesauce can be a replacement for fat in baking
This is true.
But/and I've found the substitution works better or best in cakes that have a dense or heavy texture (loaf cakes, bundt cakes and the like). Not so good results in cookies.
