Healthy Oatmeal Cookies (ALL-NATURAL)
These healthy oatmeal cookies come with 10 all-natural add-ins. You can choose just 1, or a combination of 2-3 add-ins. You want 1/2 cup of add-ins total, so fill up a measuring cup with the ones you want. These are really big cookies, you can easily make 24 (instead of 12) and cut the calories by half. My Favorite Combinations: White Chocolate Chip and Peaches, Chocolate Chip Coconut, Macadamia Nuts with Coconut and Pineapple.
Equipment
Ingredients
- ¾ cup organic all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt

Choose 1/2 Cup of Add-Ins (feel free to mix 2-3)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, cover 2-3 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl combine the flour, baking soda and salt, set aside.
- In a large bowl or standing mixer whip butter and sugar, add in egg and vanilla.
- Add in apple sauce and mix. Then add in the flour mixture and mix until just combined.
- Pour in the oats and add-ins and mix until just combined, over-mixing will make tough cookies. Then place in fridge for 15 minutes to firm up.
- Use a spoon to scoop 12 dollops of cookie dough, give enough room for a little spreading.
