This recipe makes 24 2 inch cookies. Healthy note: 3 cookies= 1 fruit serving, 1/2 whole grains serving and some iron and high fiber.:) Canola oil spray 10 dates, pitted 6 tablespoons fruit juice concentrate 2 tablespoons canola oil 1 1/2 cups rolled oats 1 cup raisins 1/4 to 1/2 chopped nuts (I like to use pecans) 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 large egg white Preheat oven to 350 F. Coat a nonsticking baking sheet with the cooking spray. Combine the dates and the juice concentrate in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat, continue to simmer until the fruit has softened, about 15 minutes. Place the mixture in a blender and puree. Pour into a mixing bowl, add the oil, oats, raisins, nuts, and cinnamon and stir to mix. In a separate bowl, lightly beat egg white. Fold it gently into the cookie mixture. Drop the batter by the tablespoon onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between cookies. Bake 10-12 minutes.
