Smart Cookies

If you want a less horrible for you treat, these are a great alternative.

1 C whole wheat flour
1 C brown sugar
1-1/2 C oats
1/2 C oat bran
1 C raisins
3/4 C semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 C walnuts, broken
1/4 C flax seeds
1/2 t baking soda
1 t cinnamon
1/4 t nutmeg
1 t vanilla
1/2 C applesauce

Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix everything together and then divide the mixture into 16 equal parts. Roll into balls, and then flatten (they don’t grow much as they bake). Bake for 14 minutes on a greased baking sheet. Let rest on a cookie sheet for 3 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool.

  1. I liked these cookies too. The chocolate really makes them (shocking, I know). Though I spilled the bag of flax seeds and that was NOT fun to clean up! :)
