BRILLIANT! Forgive my exclamation points, but this is the first recipe I've deigned to rate, and I'm afraid I will run out of superlatives! I put the cart before the horse and bought some mini baking cups and then thought about what I could put in them for a cookie exchange. The applesauce was the clincher--I have an heirloom crab apple tree, and have developed a crab apple butter that is fantastic. It is a bit tart, so its uses are limited. The only alterations: I used a full cup of applesauce, and it didn't seem to affect the consistency. I also plumped my raisins in a bit of pirate juice (rum). Baking the cookies in mini cupcake shells make them look like I slaved forever (hee hee!)! I iced them w/a whipped cream cheese, caramel, skosh of cinnamon frosting! Easy, clean, not overly sweet, great presentation--thanks, Marie!

this is a very soft, yummy cookie. I don't care much for raisins & walnuts so I left them out & instead used 2 tsp cinnamon & 1 tsp vanilla. They tasted great! I also used unsweetened applesauce; the recipe didn't specify what kind to use. Baking time was only 6 minutes for me & I got 6 dozen out of them! Thanks for the recipe
