Guest guest Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 WARNING: This recipe has been known to cause a serious cookie addiction. *lol* The original cookie recipe had 3/4 cup shortening, but i used applesauce in mine with great results. Nice and spicy...makes the house smell wonderful, too. Sugar And Spice Cookies 3/4 cup applesauce 1 cup sugar 1 egg 1/4 cup molasses 2 cups flour 1 tsp baking soda 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger 1 tsp ground cinnamon 3/4 tsp ground cloves 1/2 tsp salt Lemon Frosting: 2 cups confectioners sugar 3 Tbs butter or margarine, softened 1 tsp grated lemon peel 3 to 4 tsp lemon juice In a mixing bowl, mix applesauce and sugar. Add egg; mix well. Beat in molasses. Combine dry ingredients; add to wet mixture and mix well. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to wire wracks; cool. For frosting, cream sugar, butter and lemon peel in a mixing bowl. Gradually add lemon juice, beating until frosting reaches desired spreading consistency. Frost cookies. Yield: about 4 1/2 dozen ~ pt ~ Principle is a passion for truth and right. ~ William Hazlitt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
