Instructions

Start by gathering all your ingredients. Then, preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and lightly grease your cookie sheets.
In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter with an electric mixer until smooth and light. Beat in the egg, followed by the applesauce, until everything is well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cloves; gradually add this mixture to the applesauce mixture. Gently fold in the walnuts and raisins.
Drop rounded spoonfuls of the cookie dough about 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are nicely golden brown, approximately 10 to 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
