submitted by reader Phyllis Algeo
of Savannah, OH
Ingredients
3/4 cup soft shortening
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup applesauce
2 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup seedless raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium-size bowl, mix shortening, sugar and egg thoroughly. Stir in applesauce. Combine dry ingredients and blend into shortening mixture. Mix in raisins and walnuts. Drop batter by spoonfuls on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Makes about four dozen cookies.
Tips From Our Test Kitchen: Sprinkle an even layer of cinnamon sugar on top of each cookie before baking. For a larger and more cake-like cookie, spoon batter by golf-ball sized portions onto the cookie sheet. Bake for 12 minutes if using larger spoonfuls.
