Applesauce Cookies

Ingredients:
2 cups applesauce
2 tsp baking soda
1 cup shortening
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt
4 cups flour
chocolate chips

Mix applesauce & soda set aside. Cream sugar, shortening, eggs & vanilla. Add applesauce. Add dry ingredients. Bake at 375 for 12-15 minutes.

I got this recipe from my next-door neighbor growing up Debbie Palmer. These are the best applesauce cookie I've ever had. They are best eaten the same day they are baked.
