How to Make Whole Grain Fruit Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour, ½ cup wheat germ, 1 cup rolled oats, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup chopped dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, etc.), ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, ¼ cup vegetable oil, and 1 large egg. Mix well.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight) to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Once chilled, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Gently flatten each cookie slightly with a fork or spoon.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
