Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/3 cup margarine; 1 tablespoon smooth applesauce; 2/3 cup brown rice syrup; 2 egg whites; 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar; 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1/2 cup all-purpose flour; 1/2 cup whole wheat flour; 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoon baking soda; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1 cup rolled oats, quick cooking; 3 -4 tablespoons chopped walnuts or 3 -4 tablespoons miniature chocolate chips; 3 - 3 1/2 tablespoons craisins (or raisins)

Servings: persons

1/3 cup margarine
1 tablespoon smooth applesauce
2/3 cup brown rice syrup
2 egg whites
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup rolled oats, quick cooking
3 -4 tablespoons chopped walnuts or 3 -4 tablespoons miniature chocolate chips
3 - 3 1/2 tablespoons craisins (or raisins)

1
In a dry saucepan on medium, toast the walnuts (if using) and oats together until browned and fragrant, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
2
In a large bowl, beat margarine(at room temp) and applesauce with brown sugar until light and fluffy (with electric beaters).
3
add egg whites, brown rice syrup, and vanilla and beat until smooth, about a minute.
4
In a smaller bowl, combine flours, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
5
Mix into creamed mixture. Stir in oats, walnuts (or chocolate chips), and craisins.
6
Chill dough for 30 minutes.
7
Drop dough on parchment paper-covered cookie sheet (dont flatten tops).
8
Bake at 330u00b0 F 12-15 minutes or until spread out and very lightly browned. They will be flat and the tops will have small bubble pockets, and though they may look soft and not done, they are! Allow cookies to cool slightly then place cookies on cooling rack. Use a very good spatchula or else they will be tricky to get off the pan without breaking!
9
Cookies will be quite delicate and slightly sticky (especially when hot), so when you store them, be sure their edges arn't touching eachother and use wax paper to line between the layers. ENJOY!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
