From my Grandma Carol Schaut
Ingredients and Instructions:
Cream – 1/2 c. shortening
1 c. sugar
1 egg
Blend in – 1/2 c. applesauce
1 tsp. vanilla
Add and stir in – 1/4 c. raisins
1/2 c. chopped nuts
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. baking powder
2 c. flour
Drop by spoon onto ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten (dough does not spread). Bake at 400 degrees for 12-14 minutes.
Cookies will be a little bit doughy tasting when they are warm.
Our thoughts
These are DELICIOUS and perfect because they aren’t too sweet. Very tasty with morning coffee, too!
