Applesauce Cookies

This morning I sent out a facebook request for friends to make a cookie recipe and tell me how many cookies it made. And you could tell me if there are any typos or really screwy instructions, too. (You will be helping me immensely in editing my cookbook!) So if that's why you're here... Thanks! (But don't forget to message me how many cookies—or leave a comment here.) ☺

APPLESAUCE COOKIES

1½ cups applesauce
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup sugar
½ cup butter
1 egg
1 tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. ground cloves
½ tsp. salt
2½ cups flour
1 cup raisins (my kids say optional)

   Heat oven to 375°. In a medium bowl, mix baking soda with applesauce; set aside. In a large bowl, cream together sugar, butter and egg. Add applesauce mixture to the sugar mixture; mix well. Add cinnamon, cloves and salt. Mix in flour; fold in raisins. Drop by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets. Bake for 12-14 minutes.
