cat tidbit and let's bake cookies

Tea in my new (old) teacup. It is tea for one but there is never a lack of company around here.

I'm not a 'sweet' lover. I like salty & savory. When I make a cookie,  I don't like it to be really sweet so this recipe is one I make often. This cookie goes great with tea.

                       Applesauce Oatmeal Cookie
1 3/4 cups All purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. powdered cloves
1 cup applesauce (unsweetened)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup seedless raisons (optional)
1/2 cup walnut pieces
1 cup rolled oats

Measure together first 5 ingredients. Mix together in another bowl the butter, sugar & egg. Cream together.
In another bowl, combine applesauce and soda. Blend into creamed mixture alternating with dry mixture. Fold in raisons (optional)  walnuts and oats. 
Spoon onto greased cookie sheet or use parchment paper. Bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees. They should be golden brown.
These are similar to a Hermit cookie. They are soft, moist and you can add whatever you want to them.



Cat tid-bit...
a white cat with green, brown or gold eyes will hear fine.
a white cat with 2 blue eyes will be stone deaf.
a white cat with 1 blue eye and 1 other colour will only be deaf on the side of the blue eye.


Oh that Lily...always in my jewelery box
She has 2 green eyes and hears just fine (when she wants to ;-).

I'm joining up with some parties today.
