• 1 3/4 cups rolled oats
• 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour or unbleached flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 egg whites
• 1/2 cup honey
• 5 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter or margarine, melted
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 325°. Coat a baking sheet with non stick spray.

In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.

Place the egg white in a medium bowl and whisk lightly. Whisk in the honey, applesauce, butter or margarine, and vanilla. Add to the flour mixture and stir until well combined. Fold in raisins and chocolate chips.

Drop the dough by rounded teaspoons onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 to 3 inches apart. If desired, flatten the cookies slightly with a fork.

Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove the cookies from the baking sheet and cool on a wire rack.

Cooking hint: Mini chocolate chips great fat savers. Their small size helps distribute the chocolate flavor throughout the recipes so you don't need to use as much.
