In large bowl, combine brown sugar, margarine, molasses, apple sauce and
eggs; beat well. Stir in flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg

Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours for ease in handling.

Heat oven to 375F. Grease cookie sheets.

Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto prepared cookie
sheets. Bake at 375F for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on
wire rack.

In small bowl, combine all frosting ingredients; beat until smooth. Frost

results when baking cookies, always use a shiny cookie sheet rather than a
dark one. Dark cookie sheets absorb the heat and may cause the bottoms of
the cookies to overbrown.
