I'm going to take another stab at this. I promise to post with greater frequency than every 10 months! Should be healthier, this time around, since switching to the low, low fat intake routine last May. You can look forward to pressure and boiling water bath (BWB) canning recipes as I make them, too!
First up, some yummy low-fat AND sugarless Oatmeal Applesauce Cookies! These are a cinch to make, and have a moist, chewy texture.
Oatmeal Applesauce Cookies
Ingredients:
Directions:
- 3 cups all-purpose Flour
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
- Pinch each of nutmeg, allspice, and ginger.
- 2 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 cups Quick oats (no instant)
- 2 cups Raisins
- 2 cups (Dad's Vanilla Bean) Applesauce
- 4 large Eggs
- 5/6 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
Soak raisins in hot water for at least 30 minutes. Drain before adding to mix.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Combine flour, spices, baking soda, salt, quick oats, and softened raisins in a bowl.
Beat eggs with vegetable oil and applesauce in a separate bowl. Mix in vanilla extract (can be omitted if Vanilla Bean Applesauce is used!)
Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture until well blending.
Drop dough by tablespoons onto prepared cookie sheets, about 1-inch apart.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
Cool on wire racks. Makes about 4-5 dozen cookies.
