A Healthy Cookie: Applesauce

In my new favorite cookbook Set for Life (Merrill, Jane P. and Karen M. Sunderland), there is a section of low fat desserts.  Yesterday I baked Applesauce Cookies for the first time, and a healthy recipe of it too.  They aren't what I expected, but they are growing on me!  The day after, I can't get enough of them.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup oil
3/4 cup honey or 1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup applesauce
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup quick oats
1 tsp soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup chopped dates or raisins
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Combine oil, honey and egg; mix until light and fluffy.  Add applesauce.  Mix in remaining ingredients thoroughly.  Drop by tablespoons onto a nonstick baking sheet.  Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes or just until set.  There aren't any dates, raisins or nuts in these cookies:
