Preparation
Step 1
Beat together the brown sugar, shortening, applesauce and egg. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or more.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Drop the dough by the rounded spoonful about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until browned. Immediately remove from the cookie sheets. Cool, and then spread with frosting.

Remove from the heat and stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat in the milk until smooth.
Spread over the cooled cookies.
