Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies



We can't have a Yummy Yoo-Hoo! blog without having a couple of Grandma Yancey's recipes on it. I remember Grandma storing these cookies in a Tupperware container and passing them around at family gatherings. I love the cookies and the memories.

Cream together in mixing bowl:

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup shortening
2 eggs

Add and mix well:

1 teaspoon soda
½ teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon allspice
2 cups flour
1 cup applesauce
2 cups oatmeal

Add:
1 cup raisins or chocolate chips (we like the chocolate!)
1 cup nuts (if wanted)

Mix and drop by tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350° for 11 to 15 minutes.
