Healthy Oatmeal/Raisin Cookies

Description: My husband loves oatmeal cookies, so I have created a low fat, low sugar recipe. The addition of raisins adds more sweetness.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 egg whites
• 2/3 cup applesauce (unsweetened)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 1/2 cups old fashion oatmeal
• 2/3 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup walnuts (optional)

Steps:

1. Mix brown sugar thru vanilla together.
2. Add flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg.
3. Stir in oatmeal, raisins& walnuts.
4. Drop on cookie sheets which have been sprayed or I use parchment paper.
5. (flatten with fork) Bake in 350 oven for about 10 minutes.
6. (I do not like a lot of sugar so by adding raisins you also add a little additional sweetness) Enjoy!
