Oatmeal Pecan Raisin Cookies

So tonight I just NEEDED a cookie. Have you ever felt that way? Here is a recipe for some pretty diet-friendly cookies that can be altered to fit your tastes.

  

Ingredients:

1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce

 A pinch of salt

1/8 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 cup Liquid Egg Whites

2/3 cup baking Splenda 

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1 1/3 cup Quick Oats

1/4 cup Raisins

1/4 cup chopped pecans 

Mix all ingredients.  GREASE THE COOKIE SHEET!!!!! Make into 15 cookies. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.

These have roughly 55 calories per cookie. So I will sometimes have a few for breakfast.. :) 

  

The first time I made these, I forgot to grease the cookie sheet. It was a disaster....

You can really mix this up however you want. Use pumpkin puree instead of applesauce, walnuts instead of pecans, craisins instead of raisins, and so on and so on. Happy experimenting!
