Fantabulous Oatmeal Applesauce Cookies
"These awesome cookies have the Picky Sibling Seal of Approval. They're sweet, chewy, and just plain GOOD!, and because they're made with whole grains, honey and fruit -- no refined anything -- my dessert-loving brothers and sister can have as much as they want! (Well, within reason, of course.) Oh, and they're egg- and lactose free. :-) I bake these on a Pampered Chef baking stone, so the cooking time will probably be less if you use a regular metal baking sheet. This recipe is the result of playing around with MartiniQueeni's Ginger Oat Cookies -- they're definitely different enough to claim as my own recipe, but a lot of the ingredients and proportions are similar. So if you like these cookies, try hers too!"

I didn't use the "butter" suggestions. Also, left out the honey because of diabetes and increased the applesauce. But, all in all, the cookies turned out wonderful. -
Very great...I made it for my parents who were on a vegan no-fat diet, and it was a life-saver for them! We used agave syrup as a sweetener instead of honey, but thanks for the recipe :) -
Sorry. We didn't like these very much. They weren't sweet and had little crispness. After storing in a zipbag for a couple of days they were falling apart. The only change I made in the recipe was in using craisins instead of raisins.

My most important characteristic is this: I am a child of God through the gracious work of Jesus Christ!
I love to be with my family and friends. Interests? Writing, reading, cooking, dancing, teaching, splashing in puddles...I am an English teacher, wannabe children's author, and a bit of a health nut...and I can't stand high pitched squeaky noises.
