Today is a baking day

On the recipe clip board:

Applesauce Cookies, from California Herb Cookery.

Cream together 1/2 lb room temperature butter and 2 c. sugar.

Add, and beat in well, 1 egg.
Mix together, then beat in,
3 c. flour,
1 tsp. cinnamon,
1/2 tsp powdered/ground cloves,
1/8 tsp. salt,
1 tsp. baking soda.

Add and stir in well
1 c. unsweetened applesauce and
1 c. chopped walnuts (optional).

Drop onto greased cookie sheet, flatten slightly (I've found this goes faster if you keep your fingers wet) and bake at 425 until brown. (My gas oven does it best between 350-375 for 10-12 minutes).

Makes about 36 biggish cookies.
