Nonstick cooking spray; -optional Recipe by: St. Louis Post-Dispatch 0. 372023809523.81 Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine applesauce, sugar, egg whites, milk and vanilla in a mixing bowl; whisk until smooth. Add the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, cloves and zest; stir just to mix. Stir in oats and raisins. Coat three cookie sheets with cooking spray. (This is unnecessary with nonstick pans.) Spoon the batter onto the cookie sheets, 2 heaping tablespoons at a time, leaving 8 cm between cookies. Gently flatten each cookie with a wet spatula. Bake dozen to 14 minutes, until firm and lightly browned on the bottom. (Watch closely; they burn faster than butter-based cookies.)Let cool on the cookie sheet 1 minute, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
