Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup applesauce
1 egg white
1 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped dried cherries
1/4 cup chopped dried apricots
1/4 cup lightly toasted walnuts
2 ounces dark chocolate, cut into chunks
Cooking spray

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Combine butter, oil and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix on high speed, stopping occasionally to scrape down bowl, until mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add applesauce, egg white and vanilla and mix to combine. Add flour, oatmeal, salt and cinnamon and mix just until just combined. Add cherries, apricots, walnuts and chocolate and mix to combine.

Spray 1 baking sheet with cooking spray. Using 1 tablespoon cookie dough at a time, roll into balls and place 2-inches apart on baking sheet. Press cookies down with the palm of your hand to flatten slightly, as cookies will not spread as much as cookies with more butter. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until lightly browned but still soft. Remove from oven and cool on racks.

Okay, but not my favorite
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

These cookies were just okay meaning I will not be making them again. I feel like if you are going to eat the calories of a... cookie, even the healthier ones, they should taste good. These were too dry and did not have much flavor. Read more

I make them almost every week!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These are VERY good cookies and you feel like you aren't being "as bad" as normal cookies with tons of sugar and butter in... them. I omit the apricots and nuts so they are just dark chocolate cherry cookies. Sometimes I double the batch also because they don't make a lot.Read more

Easy and Good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is more like a granola bar rather than a cookie but it was good. I would add more dark chocolate next time.

Pretty good for "healthy" cookies
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Pretty tasty, but they have a doughy middle. What happened to the baking powder?
