Oatmeal Spice Cookies

A new favorite healthy cookie - no butter, tons of flavor, and options for making them what your family wants. The original recipe came from Whole Grain Gourmet with raisins mixed in, but we aren't raisin people around here, so other options are to just leave them plain, stir in some walnuts, or chocolate chips.

Spiced Oatmeal Cookies from Whole Grain Gourmet

• 1 cup whole wheat white flour
• 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 Tb cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 Tb molasses
• 1 egg (or 2 egg whites)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 cup mix in of your choice (optional - raisins, chocolate chips, walnuts, etc)

Preheat oven to 335 degrees (a better temp for honey). In a large bowl, add all wet ingredients, top with dry, then mix all the ingredients together.  Spray your cookie sheet with nonstick spray and drop by spoonfuls onto your baking sheet.

Bake for about 18 minutes or until golden on the bottom of the cookie.
