Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup apple butter
• 2 tbs vegetable oil
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 3/4 cup raisins
• 1.5 cups white flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp allspice (or cardamom)
• 2 cups rolled oats

Preheat oven to 350.
Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix apple butter, oil, egg, vanilla, and brown sugar until smooth. Stir in raisins.
In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cardamom/allspice. Stir in oats.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until well blended.
Drop batter by tablespoonfuls about 3 inches apart onto the baking sheet.
Bake 15 minutes, until lightly browned.

Thoughts: For some reason, this recipe didn't work at all. The cookies didn't flatten out; they just sort of stayed in lumps. And they were really dry on the inside. I mean, they were edible, but I wouldn't make them again. These are 65 calories per cookie, on the bright side.
