Super Simple Applesauce Cookies

So a few days ago, I made some really easy cookies with my oldest. It was wonderful to have that little bit of time with him where he could talk without being interrupted by his baby brother or sister. And this recipe is so easy, even a child can do it!

Ingredients:
1 and 1/2 cups unsweetened applesauce
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup finely chopped nuts (we used almonds but you can use walnuts or pecans)
1 box of spice cake mix

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

Lightly spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray (or use parchment paper). Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients.

Mix well.

Drop by the teaspoonful onto the prepared cookie sheet.

Bake for 8-10 minutes (as oven temperatures vary). Remove from oven.

Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing from cookie sheet, then allow to cool on a wire rack.

You can either put frosting on these or leave them plain (my kids preferred them plain).

Makes 72 cookies.

Of course the cookies also didn't last long enough in my house to get a picture of the finished product. I thought only Girl Scout cookies disappeared that fast!
