Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
You look like you could use a cookie.
But not just any cookie – a cookie that’s perfectly crispy around the edges, chewy in the center, and the right balance of healthy and indulgent. Satisfying and buttery, while light enough to eat a couple in one sitting and not feel like you’re going to have a sugar crash an hour later.
Oatmeal raisin cookies are one of my favorite kinds of cookies. There’s something about the combination of the hearty oats, chewy raisins, and sweet brown sugar that makes me want to do a little happy dance.

I used a mixture of applesauce and Earth Balance in my cookies, but I think using pumpkin in place of the applesauce would probably be equally awesome.
