This is for Wendy from the Dairy State, who was requesting a recipe for Applesauce Cookies in the January 30th newsletter. This is our favorite
recipe, so hope her hubby will enjoy these.

Applesauce Cookies

3/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup applesauce
1 medium size egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2-1/4 cups flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cloves
3/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Cream butter and sugar together in bowl of electric mixer at medium speed until creamy and well blended. Add applesauce, egg and vanilla. Blend in thoroughly. Add dry ingredients and mix on low speed just till blended together. Stir in nuts and raisins. Drop by small tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350º about 10 minutes, or till golden brown and firm to the touch.
