Healthy Honey Oatmeal Cookies

Healthy Honey Oatmeal Cookies
from Megan Smith

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 TBS butter
1 1/2 TBS unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
2 egg whites
1 TBS water
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat your oven to 350.
2. Mix together butter, applesauce, brown sugar, honey, egg whites, and water.
3. Add in your dry ingredients, and then your oatmeal and chocolate chips.
4. Spoon onto cookie sheet (sprayed with Pam) and bake for 12 minutes.

For only 69 calories a piece, these cookies were pretty good! My husband said that they are healthy because you only want to eat one, but I seriously liked them- a great alternative for a healthier cookie!
