Applesauce Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies
This recipe makes: 30 cookies
Preparation time : 10 minutes
Cooking time : 12 minutes
Ingredients
vegetable cooking spray
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons margarine
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 large egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup raisins
Cooking Instructions
1. Heat the oven to 375°F. Lightly spray two baking sheets with the cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and both sugars together. Beat until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the applesauce, egg and vanilla and mix until blended about 2 minutes. Add the flour to the applesauce mixture and mix well. Remove the bowl from the mixer and stir in the oats and raisins.
4. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets about two inches apart.
5. Bake until slightly golden, about 10 to 12 minutes.
6. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and cool on wire racks for 5 minutes. Remove the cookies and cool completely. These cookies can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

This is my first attempt at really filling snow-stomping winter cookies. I doubled the recipe but used 3T. soy margarine and 2/3c applesauce. I also put in about 1/3 cup nuts and 2/3c dried fruit. I would love to put safe chips in these but can only find mint flavored choc. chips. Anyway I might fiddle with this and make them more granola bar like and less cookie like. I used to eat trail mix while working in winter and this is my substitute. So with 33 grams of fat from the margarine and 28 from the nuts and maybe 15 from the oats  divided by 60 cookies equals 1.3 grams per cookie but that doesn't seem right. Oh well either way I think they are safe and you don't have to put nuts in.

I made these chocolate yesterday. I used 1T. less than 2/3c flour and 1/3c cocoa powder and I put in some mint chocolate chips and then I baked them in 2 square bar pans (8 inch I think). I also sprinkled some chips on top before baking too. It took 20 minutes. They are a very filling bar and with the oats they are nutritious too.
