*Made for PAC Spring 2008* I was surprised at how moist the dough was, yet the Chews did not spread at all. This is a quick and easy recipe to put together if you have a sweet tooth. The applesauce keeps them nice and moist, and I think a 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts would have been a nice addition as well. Thank You for sharing.
