Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies

these cookies are low in fat and sugar and great for toddlers. they are made with a little butter, but applesauce takes the place of the rest that is normally called for.

1/3 cups butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cups applesauce
1 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 cup flour
1 cup quick cooking oats
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup raisins (optional)

heat oven to 350 degrees

cream together butter and brown sugar. add eggs, applesauce, salt, and spices. mix until blended. add oats and stir. add flour and baking powder and raisins. mix. drop by tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheet. bake 10-15 minutes. until slightly browned on the bottom. (these cookies do not brown much on the top, so dont overcook)

let cool and give to baby with no guilt!
