Hello. My name is Jennifer and I’m Ms. Carole’s daughter. Last summer my new dad met my mom and me at the arena where my steer, Puff, won first place. Most steers don’t get a second chance because they get barbecued, but Puff is really happy now in my aunt Cheryl’s petting zoo. He really loves this cookie my mom created. I know you’ll like it, too.

PUFFALICIOUS WHOLE WHEAT APPLESAUCE COOKIES

½ cup brown sugar

½ cup butter or margarine

¾ cup all-natural applesauce

½ cup all purpose flour

½ cup whole wheat flour

¼ cup wheat germ

½ tsp baking powder

¼ tsp baking soda

¼ salt

½ tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp ground nutmeg

¼ tsp ground cloves

½ cup dried cranberries (or substitute raisins)

½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray baking sheet with nonstick spray. In a bowl cream together butter or margarine and sugar. Strain applesauce if there is excessive liquid. Beat in applesauce. Sift in flour and other dry ingredients. Stir to blend thoroughly. Fold in cranberries or raisins and walnuts. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto baking sheet, spacing cookies approximately two inches apart. Bake for 8–10 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to wire rack to cool. Makes approximately 36 cookies.

Note: Make two batches if you are feeding them to a hungry steer!
