1/2 c of coffee (cold)
1 tsp of nutmeg

Instructions:

In large mixing bowl, combine eggs, sugar & shortening. Add in applesauce and coffee. Then, add the rest of the ingredients (except for frosting ingredients) then stir to blend.

Place in covered container inside refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hrs. Preheat your oven at 400 degrees F. Arrange balled tablespoonfuls of dough 2-inches apart on to slightly greased baking sheet.

Then, bake 9-12 mins or till it becomes firm when pressed. Move to cooling racks.

To make frosting, get a saucepan and soften butter. Add in sugar, lemon peeling and juice. Pour tablespoonfuls of water and stir until syrupy and thick.

Since applesauce varies in thickness, do a test batch of cookies. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of flour if it expands a lot.
