Low fat, low cal, low carb cookie.

Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Whisk together and set aside:
1 cup flour (spoon flour into measure cup and level off)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

In a large bowl beat together until smooth:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Then mix in:
1/2 cup (packed) light brown sugar

Add and blend together:
1 large egg
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Incorporate mixed wet ingredients into the above flour mixture

Lastly, stir in:
1 1/3 cups rolled oats (not instant)
1/2 cup dark raisins (or dried cranberries)

Prepare 2 baking sheets w/parchment paper, foil, or silicone mats.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Drop the batter by rounded teaspoons 2-inches apart on the baking sheets and use a fork to gently flatten the dough. Yields about 36 cookies.

Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they "look dull on the surface but are moist and soft". Rotate baking sheets during baking for even heating.

Once cool, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
