Servings: persons

1 c Flour
1 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Salt
2 tb Shortening
1/4 c Applesauce
1/2 c Sugar
1/2 c Brown sugar
1 Egg
1 ts Vanilla
1 1/3 c Oats
1/2 c Raisins

1
Preheat oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add cinnamon if using raisins, instead of chocolate chips.
3
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and the sugars. Beat in the egg, followed by the applesauce and the vanilla extract. Working by hand, stir in the flour mixture and the oats until just combined and no streaks of flour remain. Add chocolate chips or raisins just before the batter comes together.
4
Drop tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 9-12 min at 375F. Cookies will be light brown at the edges, but will not get as dark and golden as regular cookies.
5
Let cool on sheet for 3 or 4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6
Store in an airtight container.

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.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
