Soft Applesauce- Raisin Cookies/ Muffins**



2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Ground Allspice
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp vanilla
1 medium Granny Smith Apple- peeled, cored and diced 
1 Cup Dark Raisins
1 Cup coarsely chopped Walnuts

Preheat Oven to 375. Mix together all ingredients.  Drop dough by rounded tablespoons, 1 inch apart on Greesed cookie sheet.  Cook 20-22 minutes or until lightly browned around edges!
Lemon Glaze: In a small bowl, still  1 cup Confectioners sugar  and 2 TBS lemon juice until smooth.  Brush onto Cookies!

***Brea's Alterations:  The cookies are kind of cakey so I made them into muffins instead.  I probably used 5-6 small apples (more than it called for) and I added caramel bits instead of raisins.  I cooked in muffin tins (lined) until done (I still think I did it about 20 minutes- but you can check by just stabbing one of the muffins in the center).
