I wasn't too impressed with these last night--but after they spent the night on the counter, they are pretty darned good. Since I didn't have everything they called for (and the store is a half hour away, I will list what I used.)
Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup sunflower oil (I used Smart Balance)
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup applesauce
1 cup soft white wheat (pastry) flour (I used hard red wheat)
3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup pecans, chopped (I didn't have any nuts at all)
2/3 cup dates, chopped (I used soaked raisins)
That is it, no eggs, no salt, no soda, no baking powder. I agree, it was a scary thought.
Preheat the oven to 375F
In a large bowl, beat together the brown sugar, sunflower oil and vanilla. Stir in the applesauce, wheat flower, rolled oats, pecans and dates.
Place on no-stick cookie sheets (or parchment paper) rounded teaspoons of the dough about 1 inch apart.
Bake the cookies for 20-25 minutes or until the cookies are browned. Cool on a wire rack.
The ones I like best this morning are the ones that were cooked the least.
