Steps

Sequence	Step

1	preheat oven to 350 line baking sheet with parchment
2	cream margarine, apple sauce and sugars together with spices
3	add vanilla and then add eggs one at a time beating well in between.
4	fold in one at a time the dry ingredients in order
5	measure about a heaping Tbsp of dough onto cookie sheet and bake for 10 mins. cool on wire rack
6	NOTE: because there is some fat in this cookie recipe it has a crisper bottom but still a cake like texture. this is a very versatile recipe as well, I have used trail-mix in place of everything and also you can use raisin in place of the cranberries. for a crunchier cookie, omit the apple sauce and replace it with fat (ie butter or margarine.)
