Applesauce Cookies

I remember making these cookies as a little girl. The recipe came from my Aunt Merlene. I think she uses shortening. I didn't have any so I used butter. You could use either!

In you mixing bowl mix until creamy:

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar

add and mix:

1 egg

add and mix:

1 cup apple sauce

add and mix:

2, 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp nutmeg

optional add and mix:

1, 1/2 cups chocolate chips or raisins

Drop by the spoon full and bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes. I like to let my cookies finish baking on the hot cookie sheets.

  1. When I wanted to bake healthy and didn't have a husband (he doesn't like healthy baked goods. can you blame him?), I used to use applesauce in place of oil or butter. So I was wondering if this would still turn out if you didn't add the butter and added more applesauce. WOuld they be too cakey?
