"Skinny" Oatmeal Walnut Raisin Cookies

"Recipe by Gina Homolka of SkinnyTaste.com. More oats than flour, and very little butter (1/5 teaspoon per cookie) these are are a soft, chewy alternative to higher-fat recipes. We like to use chopped dried tart cherries instead of the raisins, but any dried fruit could be substituted. Pecans would be nice, too."

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
  • In a large bowl, with a mixer, cream together the butter and the sugar on medium speed. Add the egg, followed by the maple syrup, apple sauce and vanilla extract.

  • Let cool on baking sheet for 3 or 4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>This site has gotten so horribly bad over the past couple of years, I have stopped using it to manage my recipes and have gone over to using another one, which I have been forbidden to mention on Food.com. It's no secret that there are competitors; send me a message if you are in the same boat and would like to know. For now, I only frequent a few of the forums and that's it. The Titanic has sailed!</p>
