What's Cooking Wednesday – Applesauce Drop Cookies



Thanks to Roy & Alicia for yesterday's entertaining blog. I don't think Hubster and I would make a good writing team, although he's very good about beta reading for me.

It's a double recipe Wednesday. If you didn't get over to Chicklets in the Kitchen , there's a recipe for Blonde Brownies that I shared as part of my guest blog post on Monday.



This recipe came from a box of C&H brown sugar. I used to make it in a 13x9 pan as bar cookies (much easier than doing the cookie sheets and scooping dough) but I wasn't sure how it would work up here, so I went with the drop cookies.





Applesauce Drop Cookies

Ingredients:

1 c raisins

1 c applesauce

1 c brown sugar, firmly packed

½ c shortening

1 egg

2 c flour (I used 1 c AP, 1 c whole wheat)

½ t salt

1 t soda

1 t cinnamon

½ t nutmeg

¼ t cloves

1 c chopped nuts (I used walnuts)



Directions:

Oven at 375

Mix raisins and applesauce; set aside. In mixing bowl, combine sugar, shortening, and egg; beat until fluffy. Mix flour with salt, soda & spices; add and mix well. Stir in nuts. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls (I use a small ice-cream type scoop) about 2 inches apart on greased or parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 13-15 minutes. Makes about 4 dozen cookies, which keep well due to the pectin in the applesauce.
