Chocolate Chip Applesauce Cookies

I really wanted to make applesauce cookies tonight, but all I had was a little jar of cinnamon applesauce and a HUGE can of food storage plain applesauce. I didn't want to open the big can so I decided to open the little jar of cinnamon and taste it to see if it was too cinnamon-y for the cookies. I even made Kalvin taste it (he HATES applesauce (except in cookies)). I determined it to be good for cookies as long as I didn't put in the cinnamon the recipe called for.

A question though....... When I do open that huge can of applesauce, can I freeze some of it? I have no idea if applesauce will freeze well or not.
