Spiced Applesauce Drops

These cookies were a big hit.  Miss Mia would have eaten them all if I would have let her!

Mom has this old cookbook - the cover is missing, many of the corners are dogeared and there are stains on pages with family favorites.  I have no clue as to the name of this cookbook; we call it the "Home Ec" cookbook as all of the recipes were submitted by home ec teachers.  When looking for a family fave, Mom mentioned she had jotted "good" beside this one.  That was all I needed to know I had to attempt it!
