Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies

I"m back to work in about 2 weeks so I thought today might be a good time to try out a new cookie for the lunchbox. My logic behind this cookie is that if it has a few healthy ingredients, than this cookie can't be all bad.

Cook's Notes- this cookie didn't spread out like I expected so press down on the top of each scoop of dough gently with your fingers just before placing the pans in the oven to give it a head start.

2 sticks butter softened
2 eggs
2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups flour
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup raisins

Preheat the oven to 350. In a medium bowl mix the flour and baking soda together and set aside. In a large bowl with electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until soft and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and continue beating. Add the apple sauce, cinnamon and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and the oatmeal. Mix until just combined. Stir the raisins in by hand.
Drop by heaping tablespoons onto baking sheets that have been lined with parchment or silpats.
Bake for 10-12 minutes.
