These cookies came about as I've been trying to cut down on refined sugar. I used the sweetness from pure applesauce and honey instead of using any white or brown sugars. I did use a small amount of dark chocolate chips, but upped the raisins. They turned out really good, soft and comforting. One of these cookies every once in a while does not make me feel bad at all. :)
Prep Time: 15 minutes + chill time
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 24 cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cup quick oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large egg
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup raisins
Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the applesauce and the egg.
- Add the honey, then very slowly drizzle in the melted butter and whisk until completely smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Stir in the walnuts and chocolate chips.
- Mix in the raisins, then chill for at least 30 minutes in the fridge. Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Drop the dough in balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 13-15 minutes, until lightly browned at the edges. Put the baking sheet on a wire rack and allow to cool for a few minutes, then transfer the cookies to the rack to cool completely. Stored in container keeping times: 3 days at room temperature, 1 week in the fridge, 3 months in the freezer.
