Applesauce Cookies

2 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
3/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup warm applesauce
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup raisins
1 cup nuts

Cream butter and sugar gradually. Dissolve baking soda in applesauce and add to mixture. Sift flour and spices together, add. Dredge raisins and nuts in the measured flour, add. Drop by spoonfuls on well-greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.

Dan’s note: these are very good. I like them with unsweetened applesauce, but I bet they’d be liked better if sweetened applesauce were used. Rated 6.4/10
