Notes

If you don't have any applesauce handy you can peel and core one med size apple. Microwave for 1- 1 1/2 min and mash. it should make a 1/2c.
if you have never made cookies w/ wheat flour, keep in mind that you cannot wait for them to turn golden brown since they are already med brown before you cook them. You will have to wait for the edges to darken and the center to get firm. The good thing is, I took out the egg so even if they are not quite done, you won't give people salmonella.
