This is how I bake(d) cookie recipes, and it never seemed to make a big difference in the cookie. A bit more moist, depending upon whether it was the eggs or the butter you'd used the applesauce to replace. And yes, very edible raw and therefore awesome.

(The moment my sister and I realized how to do this at 17 was the best moment ever in our house. We had been down raw egg road one too many times as was. Dad was very, very confused.)
