I think these cookies will always remind me of my Mom & my sister, Amber. It seems like they are always making a batch of these cookies for some party, friend, or neighbor. They scream Fall to me. I don't know if it is the applesauce/cinnamon combination-who knows??? I made them for the 1st time this week. I gave the plate of cookies away to a friend before I remembered that I needed to snap a photo for the family recipe book & for the blog. Enjoy!
