Happiness is...Applesauce Chocolate Chip Cookies

 Drunk with Deliciosity

 Applesauce Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 C. Sugar
½ C. Shortening
2 Eggs
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1 C. Applesauce
2 C. Flour
½ tsp. Cinnamon
½ tsp. Cloves
½ tsp. Nutmeg
½ tsp. Salt
½ C. Chocolate Chips

Mix together Sugar, Shortening, and Eggs.  Dissolve Baking Soda into Applesauce then add to mixture.  Add Flour, Cinnamon, Cloves, Nutmeg, and Salt.  Add Chocolate Chips.  Drop on greased cookie sheet and bake at 400 F. for 10-12 minutes. (When we made ours, we found that 8 minutes in the oven did the trick. Eleven minutes burned our cookies pretty good.)
