Joannie's Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

For when you just HAVE to have a cookie, here is a healthier alternative. Filling & yummy!

5 tbs Margarine
1 3.9oz container of Unsweetened Applesauce
2/3 cup Packed Brown Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
4 tbs Egg Whites
1.5 tsp Baking Soda
1 pinch Salt
1 2/3 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 cup Rolled Oats
2 cups Craisins (or chopped cranberries)

Makes 36 cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Blend butter & sugar until fluffy. Add applesauce, eggs & vanilla and mix well.
In a seperate bowl sift flour, baking soda and salt together. Stir into margarine mixture. Stir in the oats. Fold in the craisins.
To measure I use a silverware tablespoon and scrape it on the bowl. So, not 'heaping'.
Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto ungreased cookie sheets, spaced about 2" apart.

Bake 10 - 12 minutes in the preheated oven until the edges are crisp and the centers appear dry. Cool on wire racks & enjoy!!
