I created these cookies after one of our daughter's soccer games. All the kids were given an enormous commercial cookie that was full of hydrogenated fats, white flour, white sugar - and the cookie weighed 1/4 lb! Looking at the nutritional information on the cookie, I thought we don't need to super-size our kids' food... we need to super-charge it! I got to work straight away, and then gave our kids these delicious AND healthy cookies.

Ingredients

2 Cups Rolled oats

1 1/3 Cups Oat flour

1/4 Teaspoon Sea salt

1 Teaspoon Cinnamon

1/4 Cup Unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 Cup Raisins or chopped dried fruit

1/2 Cup Non-dairy chocolate chips (optional)

2 Teaspoons Baking powder

2/3 Cup Ground flaxseed

1 Cup Maple syrup or honey

6 Tablespoons Peanut butter

2 Teaspoons Pure vanilla extract

4 Tablespoons Applesauce

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2 In a bowl, combine oats, flour, salt, cinnamon, coconut, raisins, chocolate chips, and baking powder and stir until well combined.

3 In a separate bowl, combine ground flaxseed, syrup, peanut butter, vanilla and applesauce and stir until well combined.

4 Add wet mixture to dry, and stir until just well combined (do not overmix).

5 Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.

6 Spoon batter onto baking sheet, evenly spaced apart and lightly flatten.

7 Bake for 13 minutes (no longer, or they will dry out).

8 Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet for 1 minute, then transfer to a cooling rack.

9 These freeze very well.

Mary‚Äôs Note: These are not fat-free cookies because of the flaxseed, nut butter, chocolate chips and coconut. But they certainly are MUCH healthier than most of the options available at any market. And they do make a special treat for children (of all ages).
