Ingredients:
3/4 cup applesauce
1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons Ener-G Egg Substitute or 2 egg whites
1/3 cup skim milk or 1/3 cup soymilk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons grated orange zest
3 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup raisins
nonstick cooking spray (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine applesauce, sugar, egg whites, milk and vanilla in a mixing bowl; whisk until smooth. Add the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, cloves and zest; stir just to mix. Stir in oats and raisins.
Coat three cookie sheets with cooking spray. (This is unnecessary with nonstick pans.) Spoon the batter onto the cookie sheets, 2 heaping tablespoons at a time, leaving 3 inches between cookies. Gently flatten each cookie with a wet spatula.
Bake 12 to 14 minutes, until firm and lightly browned on the bottom. (Watch closely; they burn faster than butter-based cookies.)Let cool on the cookie sheet 1 minute, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.Store in an airtight container.
This is not going to be an overly sweet cookie.
