Apple Oatmeal Pecan Cookie image

I decided one day, about 10 months ago, that there had to be a way to make a cookie that would taste good, but not have shortening, butter or the typical veg oil. So, I decided to experiment. I put together the basics I knew I would need, the flour, sugar and so on. Then, I needed something for moisture. Well, I decided to use...

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/4 c all purpose flour
1 c light brown sugar
1/2 c granulated sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp lite salt
3/4 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 c grapeseed oil
7 Tbsp pasteurized egg whites
2 tsp imitation vanilla flavoring or extract
2 c oatmeal (not the instant)
2 c apples diced into small pieces (i used a tart apple).
1 c chopped pecans or walnuts (i've tried it with both)
1 c raisisns

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. Line your cookie sheet with Parchment Paper.
  • 3. Mix together all dry ingredients.
  • 4. Add all of the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and mix well. I use my kitchen aid for this.
  • 5. Now add in the Pecans and Oatmeal. Mix well.
  • 6. Don't worry if dough seems a bit stiff and perhaps even crumbly.
  • 7. Now add in the Diced Apples and Raisins. Mix well.
  • 8. **This is very important, refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This is important as this allows flavors of the cinnamon, nutmeg, oats and apples to blend. Worth the wait. You won't be disappointed.
  • 9. Drop by small tsp (I use a small ice cream scoop with a release) onto lined cookie sheet. Then very lightly and flatten the dough. Not much. Just enough so you don't have a raised/pointed top. That way the cookie will bake evenly.
  • 10. Bake for 9-15 minutes (depending upon oven)
  • 11. Remove cookies from oven when lightly brown.
  • 12. Each cookie is approx. 2.81 grams of fat
  • 13. Yield 7 doz. of 2" cookies Unless you eat some of the cookie dough like I do... :)
  • 14. ***Note*** You can add more cinnamon and nutmeg to taste if you like. This actually can also be applied to the nuts, raisins, and apples. Feel free to add a little extra if you like. In that regards, you make it according to your taste. Happy baking.
  • 15. You can also make a glaze of 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla and a tsp of milk. If it's not thick enough, just add a bit more powdered sugar. You can use this to drizzle over the cookies to make them appear a little fancier.
