I've been playing around with an old recipe that's been passed down through time trying to make it much more health conscious than it started out.
We now know that we can replace some of the fat in baking with healthier options, and still get a great tasting sweet.
I like using applesauce, and tried replacing all the fat, but I can't quite get past the texture of the cookie. Kind of like chewing rubber...
I went back to the drawing board and have a cookie that's not too high in fat and has a great taste.
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup egg whites
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup flour
1 1/2 cups quick oats
1/2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp ground allspice
Mix together the butter, honey,egg white, and vanilla.
In a separate bowl mix together the dry ingredients.
Combine both and mix well.
Peel, core and chop the apple and add it to the cookie dough.
Drop by spoonfuls onto a lightly greased cookie sheet.
Press dough slightly for a flatter cookie.
Bake 375 for 12 - 15 minutes.
Makes 2 dozen cookies
