Yields 12 large cookies, or up to 20 smaller cookies
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 1/3 cups rolled oats (not instant)
- Red, white & blue M&Ms**
- Optional: 1/2 cup almonds, chopped.
** Normally made with either 1/2 heaping cup raisins or 1/2 heaping cup chocolate chips mixed into the batter.
Preheat oven to 375°C.
Line 2 cookie sheets with tin foil.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
In another large bowl, beat canola oil and white sugar with a hand held mixer until smooth (about 45sec).
Using a plastic spatula, mix brown sugar, egg and applesauce in with the oil and sugar.
Stir in the dry ingredients, then the oats (** at this time, mix in raisins/chocolate chips if using instead of M&Ms).
Drop the batter by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Decorate with as many red, white & blue M&Ms as you like!
Bake for 11min (they should look dull on the surface). Slightly under-baked for moist and chewy cookies!
Transfer the cookies from baking sheets to cooling rack and cool completely before storing in an airtight container at room temp.
