Craving a cookie without guilt..this did it, but I ate 3 so far...
Ingredients:
- 1 cup pitted prunes or dates
- 1 cup walnuts or pecans
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce or rhubarb sauce

- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chia seed optional
- 1/4 cup mini chic chips optional
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 large
baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
Put prunes, nuts and sugar into a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. In a large bowl, whisk together egg, vanilla, baking soda, applesauce and oil. Stir in prune mixture then add oats, flour, cinnamon and salt and stir until just combined.
Drop dough by the spoonful onto prepared baking sheets. Moisten your fingertips with a bit of water then gently press down each cookie to make a round shape. Bake until cooked through and deep golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Transfer to wire racks and set aside to let cool. Makes 24
