Grandma Libby's Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies

We (our daughters and Ken and I) read my Grandma and Grandpa Peterson's history written by my sister, Patty for our online book club.  Afterward, both Shonna and Michelle made these cookies.  The recipe was printed in the back of the book.  They both said they were delicious.  I can't wait to try them!



 Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies

2 cups sugar

1 cup shortening

2 beaten eggs

2 tsp. baking soda

2 cups applesauce

4 cups flour

2 tsp. nutmeg

1 1/2 tsp. salt

2 tsp. cinnamon

2 cups quick oats

 1 cup raisins

2 cups nuts

chocolate chips (opt.)

Cream sugar and shortening.  Beat eggs and add to mixture.  Add soda to the applesauce and then add to the mixture.  Sift dry ingredients together and add to the wet ingredients.  Mix well.  Stir in oatmeal, raisins, and nuts.  Drop by Spoonfuls on greased cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 for 10 minutes or until desired doneness.  This is a double batch.
