Applesauce Cookies Mix in a Jar
1 cup brown sugar
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup raisins
3/4 cup chopped nuts
Combine flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda - stir well. Place
flour mixture in a clean mason jar. Pack down tight so everything
will fit in the jar. (Use a spoon or a mallet.) Add other
ingredients, one item at a time, packing each layer down.
Personalized label, if you wish. As an added touch, tie a wooden
spoon to the lid with a piece of ribbon.
Print out the following instructions on a gift card and tape the
card to the jar:
Whip 3/4 cup of butter or shortening until light and fluffy. Add 1
egg and 1/2 cup applesauce and beat until mixed. Stir in the
ingredients from this jar until well combined.
Drop teaspoons of dough on a greased cookie
sheet.
Bake for 8 - 12 minutes at 350 degrees F. |
