Eggless Oatmeal Cookies

brithebaker's Note:

a nice treat with no eggs. I have very successfully substituted pumpkin and mashed squash for the sweet potato.

• Total Time: 40 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 24

Yield: 24.0 cookies ...

• 2 cups flour
• 2 cups oatmeal (uncooked)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons ground flax seeds (optional)
• 1 2/3 cups brown sugar
• 1/2 cup oil
• 1 cup cooked mashed sweet potato

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
2. Mix the first dry five ingredients (with flaxseed, if using).
3. Mix the remaining three ingredients.
4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stir until mixed.
5. Drop onto a well greased cookie sheet and flatten slightly (they don't spread out that much since they don't have butter or margarine) or spread into a well greased jelly roll pan.
6. Bake for 16 minutes for cookies, around 30 for cookie bars (I like them nice and crunchy, bake for less time if you like them soft).
