I created this recipe with my daughter after a conversation with my sister, Meagan, about her idea of a perfect oatmeal cookie. This is a cookie you can feel good about giving your kids. They are very moist and fluffy and taste even better the days after being baked. These are very adaptable so feel free to substitute chocolate chips and a bit of lemon zest for the raisins or add some cranberries and sliced almonds for some added fun!

SERVES 24 , 24 cookies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup applesauce
1/4 cup flax seed meal
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 cups old fashioned oats
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup raisins
2 teaspoons cinnamon (I let my 3 yr old shake in as much as she wants)
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup packed brown sugar

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350.
2
Cream together butter, applesauce and brown sugar.
3
add flax seed meal and vanilla.
4
Mix in eggs, one at a time.
5
Add flour, oats, salt, baking soda and cinnamon. Mix until fully incorporated then mix in raisins.

Place spoonfuls onto cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.

Yum, yum, yum! These are addicting and not so bad for you! Very moist. I did not have any flax seed meal, but they still turned out great. Thanks for such a great recipe!

Thank you delicious and now far less guilty of a treat. i used light margarine, plum sauce for the apple. whole rye for the whole wheat. I halved the brown sugar and subbed in sweet n low. the dough texture was a little dry, so they didnt' spread. the baked as shape dropped. i'm sure due to my not perfect measuring. great taste.

These cookies are FANTASTIC!! They come out nice and moist, chewy and delicious! We didn't have flax meal when I got the craving for these cookies, so I substituted with low fat vanilla yogurt from TJ's. I, also, let my 3 year old shake in as much cinnamon as he wanted. So fun to make these with the kids! Thanks for a great recipe. I can't wait to make them again!!
