2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 � tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
� tsp salt and ground ginger
� tsp ground allspice
1 � cups firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 � cups raisins
Heat oven to 375 degrees. In medium bowl combine flour, whole wheat flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, ginger and allspice; set aside. In large mixing bowl combine brown sugar and butter. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy (1-2 minutes). Add eggs and applesauce; continue beating until well mixed (1 minute). Reduce speed to low. Continue beating, gradually adding flour mixture, until well mixed (1-2 minutes). By hand, stir in raisins. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2" apart onto cookie sheets. Bake for 9-13 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. (Cookies will not brown; a slight imprint will remain when touched with a finger.) Just before serving, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
