This recipe is great! Low-fat, super simple, and cookie-satisfying (ok, it IS a lot like baked oatmeal, but I love oatmeal desserts). I make 2 cookies from a single batch (toaster oven natch), or 6 cookies from a double batch. I add raisins and chocolate chips, yum yum. One warning: measure the applesauce instead of winging it as I often do. You want just enough applesauce to moisten, to hold it together; any more and you have a rubbery, less-than-tasty cookie. Get it right, shape the dough to the final size and shape you want (it doesn't rise or spread), bake, and enjoy. This works with 'Zaar recipes for instant oatmeal, too, saving me from going to the store for instant oatmeal when I always have old-fashioned oats for baking. I like it best with the "apples & cinnamon" flavor (with raisins & choc chips added too), even tho' I prefer "maple & brown sugar" (with same add-ins) if I'm eating oatmeal for breakfast. Good (soft, chewy) cookie that's a bit healthier! UPDATE: I made a double batch of these to bring on a trip. I added ground up (yay, Krups coffee grinder!) chewable multivitamins and chewable fiber tablets, as many as days on the trip. Individually wrapped, perfect breakfast-on-the-go from home. Versatile!

I suppose this could potentially be a wonderful cookie, although mine didn't turn out so great. I was a lot on the dry side (even though I added 1 teaspoon of apple sauce. It also wasn't quite sweet enough and the texture wasn't very cookie-ish.
