Yesterday Sydney and I drove out to West Vancouver to visit my friend Rachel and her new, sweet baby boy, Asher. He was born three weeks early and is the teeniest-tiny sweet pea ever! I could have held him all day! It was like holding a feather compared to packing Sydney around. It was so strange to think that Sydney was once that small!!
Rachel had the most amazing spread of food out for us, lovely fresh berries and treats. I brought some homemade cookies along, tried a new recipe as I was looking for a way to use up an open jar of apple sauce that I had in the fridge. They actually turned out really well and were quite flavourful with all of the spices. Plus they are pretty healthy, so I didn't mind that Sydney ate about six of them in the car on the way home!
Here's the recipe if you want to give them a try:
Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground allspice
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 egg whites
2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease baking sheet. Mix flour, baking powder, spices and salt. Beat margarine and sugar until creamy. Add egg whites; beat well. Add dry ingredients. Stir in oats, applesauce and raisins or dried cranberries. Drop by level tablespoons onto baking sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on rack before serving.
