Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies
by Stephanie Christensen
These cookies are great because there isn’t a whole lot of sugar in them, yet they’re strangely satisfying.
Preheat the oven to 350
Put 4 eggs in a mixing bowl
Add a little sugar (1/8 -1/4 cups)
Add ¾ cup of cooking oil
Add 1 teaspoon of salt
Add 1 teaspoon of flavoring (vanilla, almond, or maple)
Mix now or wait until you have added 1 ½ cup raisins (optional)
Add 4 cups of quick oatmeal (the 1 min stuff, not the regular kind)
Add ½ cup applesauce (for moisture – you can use other stuff too like ripe bananas)
Mix this till you think it’s ready to go in the oven. If too juicy, add a bit more oatmeal; if too dry, add more applesauce.
Use a tablespoon (helped by a knife) to put the dough on a ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes.
