Applesauce Oatmeal Drops

[vgnprincess]

Delicious!  These came out really well.  It's great to find a healthy cookie recipe.  I substituted evaporated cane juice sugar for the white sugar, and added 1/4 tsp of cinnamon and a 1/2 tsp of vanilla.  Next time I think I'd try adding more oats and I'd be more generous with the cinnamon and maybe some other spices.  This would be good with chopped dried fruit too.

these are spectacular!  I put in at least a cup, maybe a cup and a half of raisins, plus 3/4 of a cup of chocolate chips that were left over from something.  they're so soft and sweet, kind of pillowy in the middle, but still cookie-ish - this will be a regular recipe for me, I can tell.

This recipe was fairly good, but way too salty for a cookie.  I will drop the salt down to 1/4 tsp next time.

these were really good!  maybe i'm crazy, but i didn't find them sweet enough, so i'll add more sugar next time.  thanks for the recipe

These were yummy and super simple to make--gotta respect a recipe that enables instant gratification!  I used dried cranberries instead of raisins and added cinnamon and nutmeg.  I also refrigerated the batter for about 15 mins before baking since it was kind of runny.  The end result was definitely more muffiny than cookie-ish which, in my opinion, is a great excuse to eat them for breakfast ^_^

these turned out really good!! i added vanilla and cinnamon like some people have mentioned, and also added some pecans.  they do remind me of a chewy granola bar type cookie. i've been spreading a little bit of peanut or almond butter on them and it is ssooooooooo good...i think next time i will maybe just try adding peanut or almond butter to the recipe. thanks for the recipe i will definitely make again!!

When I have made these, the cookies always turn out well with a very nice chewy texture. I use a little bit less salt than suggested, and I add vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. They tend to come out just a little bit dry, so I serve them with the leftover applesauce for dipping.

first time making something vegan. first time making cookies from scratch.. i think i over did em.. the color stayed white& nevr really turned light brownish so i waited about 15mins instead of 10mins so ya.. a little hard but i still love it~ im going to make more soon & take it to work! thanx so much!

With this cookie, it becomes obvious that, calorically speaking, you get what you pay for. These cookies were extremely chewy and hard to chew, and not very cookie like at all. If you're looking for a healthy 'cookie', go with this, but just don't bring it to your next holiday bash. I highly doubt it will be lauded at all.

i just made these... YUMMERS! i dont quite know how to describe them.. definately not dense, somewhat chewy... very good in any case. the batter is pretty nice too.

i used 1/4 tsp salt
Nature's Path instant oatmeal (apparently, we ran out of the real stuff)
and sugar from the instant oatmeal (i usually sift it out and save it because its sweet enough as is)

so, yah, i basically just ate 1/2 the batch. i think theyd be good for kids too. healthy and tasty. make em.

I thought these were very good. I actually used some homemade applesauce I had made the day before. The applesauce was a little dense so I had to use some soymilk to get it to a good consistency. I actually completely omited the sugar all together and they were the perfect amount of sweetness. I have a 2year old so I am always trying to find healthy cookie recipes. This has been my favorite so far. I should probally just always have these on hand!
Thanks so much for such a great simple recipe!!!

My meat eating hubby L O V E S these!  In fact, he's making another batch right now!

These were not bad. I substituted chocolate chips for the raisins as I was seriously craving chocolate! They came out a lot softer than I expected, kind of muffin-like. I didn't have enough apple sauce so I added mashed banana, maybe that's what caused them the be so soft. In any case, they are good for low fat snacking. Thanks!

geez, i accidentally used one teaspoon of baking soda instead of powder, but these came out well regardless. i ate a fresh one and they reminded me strongly of the old oatmeal raisin cookies i used to eat.. but with no extra added fat! at first i was skeptical when i mixed the oats in: the dough didnt look like it would even out, but it did. i used 1/2 cup of brown sugar because i dont have white sugar, whole wheat flour, and baking soda instead of powder. i baked for about 18 minutes. these are easy and fun to make. estimated nutritional value with raisins..
