I'm impressed! I don't usually know what we're having for dinner when I start cooking.
Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
3 cups rolled oats
1/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (or more chocolate chips)
2/3 cup chocolate chips
1 cup raisins (or crasins)
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup applesauce
2 large eggs or 3 large eggwhites
1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or coat with cooking spray.
Spread rolled oats and nuts on an ungreased baking sheet and toast until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes; set aside.
Combine raisins with water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat and cook until the raisins are plumped, about 10 minutes. Drain, discarding liquid, and set aside.
Beat sugars, applesauce, eggs, oil and vanilla in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and cloves into another bowl. Stir the flour mixture into the applesauce mixture with a spoon.
Stir in the reserved oats, nuts, chips and raisins; mix well.
Drop the dough by rounded teaspoonfuls, about 2 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets. Pat them down to desired height. They will rise slightly when baked. Bake, one sheet at a time, until lightly brown. Approximately 7-9 minutes.
Well, I'm stumped for tonight so I think perhaps tomato soup and grilled cheese ;)
Thank you for the Cookie recipe, Wesley and I will try that soon and post pictures of the results!
