Healthy Oatmeal Date Walnut Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Dry
    1 cup whole wheat flour
    1 cup rolled oats
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
    1/2 cup raw sugar
    1/3 cup chopped walnuts
    1/3 cup chopped dates
    Wet
    1/4 cup plain soymilk
    1/4 cup canola oil
    4 ounces natural applesauce, single serving cup
    2 teaspoons molasses
    2 tablespoons maple syrup
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. (or 325 convection oven). Line 3 cookies sheets with parchment paper.
    Mix all dry ingredients.
    Wisk together wet ingredients.
    Fold in dry to wet and stir until moist. If batter is too dry add a little more applesauce.
    Use small ice cream scoop to make cookies.
    Bake 15 minutes.
    Transfer to baking rack and cool.
    I throw them into a ziploc bag and just grab 2 out of the freezer whenever the mood hits me. I use them for the kids lunches too and they love them!
    VARIATION: I basically make the same recipe but with dairy free chocolate chips instead of walnuts and omit molasses and maple syrup. We live on those! I love stocking up the freezer on Sundays. :).
