Apple Oatmeal Raisin Cookies - Recipe

I'm working on making the sweets that my girls take to school in their lunches, largely because they are more healthy than buying junk. Here's the recipe for the first batch of cookies I made. I made substitutions and adjustments to the original recipe to make them lower-fat and sugar.

Apple Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

1 Cup Raisins
1 cup applesauce
1/2 cup splenda
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 cups old fashioned oats

Put the raisins in a small saucepan. Put in just enough water to cover raisins, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and drain raisins, reserving 6 Tbsp of the liquid.

In a medium-sized bowl (I did this all in my Kitchen-aid Mixer) combine the applesauce and splenda. Next, beat in the eggs, vanilla, and reserved liquid from the raisins. Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add flour mixture to the batter, then stir in oatmeal and raisins.

Drop by Tablespoons onto a cookie sheet or baking stone. (I use a parchment covered baking stone for my cookies.) Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 12-15 minutes.
