Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Beat butter, SPLENDA® Granulated and molasses until smooth. Beat in eggs and stir in grated apple.
In a separate bowl, sift flour, spices and salt. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture until blended. Stir in walnut
pieces and raisins and spoon by generous tablespoonfuls (or with a small ice cream scoop) onto prepared
baking tray, leaving an inch (25 mm) between cookies.
Bake for 14 to 16 minutes until bottom just begins to brown and top of cookie springs back when gently
pressed.
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days or frozen for 2 months.
