Oatmeal Walnut Raisin Cookies

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 350°; line two baking sheets with parchment paper or use a silpat.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.

3. In a large bowl, with a mixer, cream together the butter and the sugar on medium speed.

4. Add the egg, followed by the maple syrup, apple sauce and vanilla extract.

5. Working by hand with a spatula, stir in the dry ingredients until just combined and no streaks of flour remain; stir in the oats, raisins and chopped walnuts.

6. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the dough onto prepared baking sheets. Bake for about 12 - 15 minutes, or until cookies become light brown at the edges.

7. Let cool on baking sheet for 3 or 4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
