Preheat oven to 375.
Mix first 5 dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, melt margarine and combine with apple sauce, sugar, and cinnamon. Add to dry ingredients.
Grate ginger into the dough (more for spicier cookies). Chop candied ginger into small cubes and add to dough. I like the uncrystalized kind.
Place heaping spoonfuls on a baking sheet. These are pretty sticky, so I recommend greasing the baking sheet or using parchment paper.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the color darkens. Let cool before removing from baking sheet (this let's them harden a little, otherwise they tend to fall apart).
