Healthy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies



I love oatmeal, better yet oatmeal cookies! I modified the original version of oatmeal cookies and created a low fat, low sugar cookie. I also replaced raisins with dried-cranberries to add more sweetness.

Ingredients:
1/2 c. brown sugar
2 egg whites
2/3 c. unsweetened applesauce
1 1/2 c. whole-wheat flour
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 1/2 c. old fashioned oats
2/3 c. dried cranberries
1/2 c. walnuts (optional)

1. Mix brown sugar and, egg whites, applesauce, and vanilla together.
2. Add flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. Stir in oatmeal, dried-cranberries and walnuts.
4. Drop on greased cookie sheets (or cover baking sheet with parchment paper; this save clean-up time)
5. Flatten with a fork and bake in 350 degree F oven for about 10 minutes.
