How to Make Applesauce Drop Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup raisins and 1 cup unsweetened applesauce. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup shortening (or ½ cup butter and ½ cup shortening) until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 large egg.
- Stir in the applesauce and raisin mixture until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon ground cloves.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
