Here I sit, typing my post, enjoying my Mike’s Classic Margarita. It is Cinco De Mayo after all even though I didn’t bake anything Mexican. Just pretend the Chicken Enchiladas were baked today and today’s applesauce cookies were done the other day. And I’ll have another Margarita!
I adapted this recipe from The Fannie Farmer Cookbook Thirteenth Edition, p.616; author, Marion Cunningham; publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., a division of Random House, Inc.; ISBN 0-394-56788-9.
Cinnamon Applesauce Cookies
¼ pound butter
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 cup cinnamon applesauce
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
½ teaspoon cloves
1 cup raisins
Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
Grease the cookie sheets or cover with parchment paper.
Cream the butter and add the two sugars, beating until light.
Stir in the egg and the applesauce.
Mix together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves and add to the first mixture, beating until smooth.
Add the raisins.
Arrange by spoonfuls on the cookie sheets.

Food, thank you! I’m a new follower.
These came out very fluffy, and definitely tasty. Very easy to make, although I’d use a little less nutmeg next time. Personally I thought it overpowered the rest of the flavors, but still very good. I made them for a cookie party I’m attending later and I’m sure these girls will enjoy them. I’ll definitely be making them again soon!
