Yule is right around the corner and what better way to celebrate than with homemade cookies? Over the years I have collected several vintage recipes, but one of my favorites always ends up being the Spicy Applesauce Cookies. Super quick to make, and soft in texture you will see why I love them so much. Did I mention that they make your house smell absolutely amazing?! Below I have posted the original recipe. If you decide to try them out, let me know what you think!
*Note: The recipe calls for chopped nuts; however, it is completely optional! If you have an allergy to them, please omit that ingredient. Thanks!*
