I really like this time of year. Truth be told, I like each season equally. I like the newness of it, KWIM? I am more than ready to pack away summer shorts, T-shirts and sandals to be replaced with fall/winter sweaters, hoodies and jeans.
Today I baked bread and cookies.
Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies
3 c. oatmeal
1 c. whole wheat flour (or 2 c. oatmeal and 2 c. whole wheat flour,
whatever combination you want)
1 t. soda
1/4 t. nutmeg
1 c. unsweetened applesauce
1 c. sugar (or less)
1 t. vanilla
2/3 c. raisins or dried apples or dried cranberries
Combine the first four ingredients. Mix up the next 3 ingredients and add
them to the dry ingredients. Stir in the dried fruit. Roll in small balls
and smash to 1/4 " thickness on the cookie sheet. Bake at 275 degrees for
22-25 minutes.
Makes about 50 cookies with only .3 grams of fat each.
A warning about these cookies:
They are very good, but if you are expecting the texture of regular oatmeal cookies you will be disappointed. They taste just like regular oatmeal cookies, but don't look a thing like them! You can place these pretty close together, too. They don't spread out at all. What you put in the oven is what you take out.
I'm not feeling well this afternoon. I think I am going to go watch TV and see if I can NOT get sick.
