C

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In large mixer bowl, blend "A" until fluffy. Add and blend "B". Add and combine "C" just until mixed.

Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture on greased baking sheets and bake for 13-15 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

NOTE: I used the full cup of margarine in the recipe, but after tasting the resulting product I believe that one could reduce it by at least half (possibly more), perhaps substituting applesauce for the remainder to provide the adequate liquid in the mixture.
