I started a Relief Society interest group (Cooking) and we shared recipes and cooking techniques. One time we focused on beans. Here is one of the recipes that we sampled.

½ Cup shortening
1 Cup sugar
1 Cup beans (cooked)
½ Cup applesauce
2 teaspoons soda
2 ¼ Cups flour, sifted
1 egg
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon cloves

½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
1 Cup raisins
1 Cup chopped nuts
1 Cup rolled oats

Cream shortening, add sugar gradually and beat in egg. Add beans and applesauce, to which soda has been added. Sift spices and salt with flour, and add to first mixtures. Add raisins, nuts and oats. Drop from teaspoon on greased cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes.
