Applesauce (or Pumpkin) Cookies

These are great, inexpensive healthy cookies to serve as breakfast or a snack. They can be made with applesauce, or an equal amount of canned pumpkin. I love that they don't call for any butter. I often forget to soften some for my other breakfast cookies! Give them a try and see if your family likes them as much as we do!

Applesauce (or Pumpkin) Cookies
2 cups applesauce or canned pumpkin
1 cup raw sugar
4 eggs
3 cups whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp ground cloves
6 cups oatmeal
2 cups raisins, optional

Preheat oven to 350.

Thoroughly mix applesauce and sugar and then beat in the eggs. Slowly mix inn flour, soda and spices; then oatmeal and raisins. Drop by spoonful onto a lightly greased pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned.
