healthy oatmeal cookie recipe?

the best oatmeal cookie recipe in the world is in cook's 'baking illustrated'. if i paraphrase with my own ing sub, that won't be a copywrite violation, right? i use wh wt pastry flour, which is not at all 'heavy' & can be subbed in all cookie recipes. i wonder that the cook's people have not figured it out; it just tastes better. there's not a person at my dh's work that would guess my cookies are any healthier than any others, lol.

oven, 350'.

parchment paper.

1 1/2 c wh wt pastry flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 sticks soft butter or butter substitute
1 c l brown sugar
1 c sugar
2 eggs
3 c old-fashioned rolled oats
1 1/2 c golden raisins
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt if using unsalted butter

cream butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla- you know the routine. add dry ing except oats & raisins. then add them. 2 T balls 2 inches apart, 22- 25 minutes (in my oven it was 20- don't let them overcook! they will set up.)

these were awesome.

I make big, soft cookies with this recipe:

Lighter Oatmeal Cookies

1/2 c brown sugar
2 T butter
1/2 c applesauce
1 lg egg
1 1/2 c flour (could use whole wheat pastry or unbleached)
1 1/2 c oats
1 t baking soda
1 t cinnamon
1/4 t salt
1/2 c raisins
1/2 c chopped walnuts
1 1/2 t vanilla

Preheat oven to 350. Beat sugar and butter at medium speed until well-blended. Add applesauce and egg; beat well. Combine flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, salt. Add dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir until well-blended. Add raisins, nuts, and vanilla. Use 3T per cookie and place them 2" apart on a greased baking sheet. Flatten cookies slightly. 10-15 minutes.

I can't find Cathe's original post to c/p this so I'll reword the directions. In () is how I have changed it.

Cathe's Applesauce oatmeal cookies

1/3 cup maple syrup

1 cup applesauce
1 1/2 cup rolled oats
1 1/2 cup ww (I use ww pastry)
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. soda
(1/4 t. salt - I thought it needed this)
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (walnuts)
(I also had 1/2 of *each* raisins and coconut)

350 Oil cookie sheets. Beat oil, egg, vanilla until smooth. Add applesauce and the oats. Mix dry ingredients together; stir in with wet. Add nuts, raisins, and coconut.

Drop by teaspoons onto oiled cookie sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges and bottoms are golden brown. Cool on wire wracks. Yields 3.5 dozen.
