How to Make Amazing Whole Wheat Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in 3 cups rolled oats and 1 cup raisins (or 1 cup chocolate chips).
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
