I was up at 6 AM this morning and ready at 7AM to do a couple of loads of laundry. Then I had a pharmacy run. By then it was lunchtime. After lunch I made some Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies. http://bethmariesrecipes.wordpress.com/
Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies
2 c. sugar
1 c. shortening
2 eggs, well beaten
3 1/2 c. flour
2 c. oatmeal
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 c. applesauce with 2 tsp. soda added
2 c. raisins
2 c. chopped walnuts
Cream sugar and shortening; add the eggs. Add the applesauce/soda mixture and mix well. Sift together flour, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon and add. Add oatmeal, raisins and nuts last. Drop by teaspoons on greased cookie sheets and bake in a preheated 375°F oven for about 12 minutes.
May frost with powdered sugar frosting when cool if you like. I even frosted one of the small loaves. By then I was out of glaze and too lazy to make any more. Now to find room in the freezer.
Makes 7 dozen cookies.
These are really good. I did get tired though and put some of the dough in 3 small loaf pans which worked out well.
It has been dreary and drizzly here all day. The temp has only reached 54 degrees right now.
Stay safe and be happy!!
