Sweet Cookies



Mine do not look like the picture. my batter was much too soft to roll, so I spooned it on and hoped for the best. The flavor is good. My children loved them. The texture is not what you expect. NOTE: This recipe only yielded 9 cookies! There's a good way to avoid overeating! (I used unbleached flour and no nuts)







Ingredients

2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp canola oil
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 egg white
1 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup dried cherries or cranberries or blueberries
1/4 cup lightly toasted nuts of choice
2 oz. dark chocolate in chunks or chips
Cooking spray

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 ° F.

Combine butter, oil and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix on high speed until mixture is light and fluffy, for about 2 minutes. Add applesauce, egg white and vanilla. Mix to combine. Add flour, oatmeal, salt and cinnamon; mix until combined. Add fruit and nuts. Mix to combine.

Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Using 1 tablespoon of cookie dough at a time, roll into balls and place 2 inches apart on sheet. Press down to flatten slightly. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until lightly brown but still soft. Remove from oven and cool on racks.
