Low Fat Apple-Pecan Oatmeal Cookies

Submitted by elastigirl

"This recipe is the result of my tinkering with other lowfat oatmeal cookie recipes in an effort to make them moister. The addition of milk results in a softer, cakier cookie. Great for snacks or even breakfast!"

2. Mix together brown sugar, egg whites, applesauce, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
3. Add flour, baking soda, salt, and apple pie spice and stir well to combine.

this recipe also works well as mini muffins. I left the pecans out and baked them for 1-2 minutes longer. Very good!
