I thought of something I wanted to add to my blog this year...recipes! Cooking has become something that I really enjoy and why not pass on some of my favorite recipes to Jack, Audrey and whoever else reads the blog! Here is one that my friend Kate requested recently after a playmate we had at our house. They are so tasty and can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, snack time, you name it! They freeze really well so I usually make 3x the recipe. I would make more but my mixing bowl can't hold that much! Eat them directly out of the freezer with a hot cup of Jo or warm them in the microwave for 5 seconds to melt the chocolate (that is if you choose to put chips in them...you'd be crazy not to!). I do a little substitution with my version...I use jumbo mixed raisins instead of dried apples. Sometimes I add nuts, other times not. And of course I add 1/2 c. of chocolate chips! One was to indulge is to eat one with some fat-free vanilla yogurt and a dollop of peanut butter. BTW..this is a Weight Watchers recipe and is 3 points per cookie!
Combine for 1 minute in mixer:
1/4 cup unsalted fat free margarine
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
Add 2 large eggs and beat for 30 seconds.
Add 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce and beat to mix.
In another bowl, combine:
1.5 cups whole grain flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
Beat flour mixture into sugar mixture, and then add the following and combine by hand:
1.5 cups quick oats
1/2 cup dried apples, chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/ cup chopped walnuts
Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray and drop heaping tablespoons 1" apart on sheet. Bake 13-15 minutes. Freeze if desired.
