High Protein Oatmeal Cookie
"A high protein snack any time of the day. Without a lot of sugar, that lets you down an hour later. That is what the working men in the family wanted. So this is what I made, and they liked it. I pack 3 to each lunch box, along with the sand'wich and fruit. They all said it was just the right amount to get them through the work day.
High protein, a low carbohydrate snack with high firber."

- Bring to a boil 1 cup Raisins, 1 cut water, and simer 5 minutes in small pan, Covered, turn off and let set till cool.
- I do this the day before. If the Dates are hard you can do the same with them. You want the fruit to be soft so that it will mix into the other ingredients.
- For the topping I use a food procser and grind the Walnuts, Sugar, and Flour till I have a fine meal. and set aside.
- Now Drain the Raisins, Apricots and save the water from the Apricots. Now put the ingredients for the cookie in the mixing bowl and mix together for 4 minutes on low speed, Now add the water from the apricots (Apricots Juice ) and mix for 3 mintues, and then let set for 30 minutes so the dry can absorbe the wet,.
- Now start droping the cookies with a #40 ice cream server into the topping mix and roll them once, then place them on a cookie sheet.
- I use a 12 X 18 cookies sheets and place then 3 x 5.
- Bake at 350deg for 14 to 15 minutes . let cool 10 minutes befour removing from cookie sheet.
