Oatmeal Cookies with Chocolate Morsels and Toasted Pecans

Who doesn't love cookies?   Well I guess not everyone does but my Horcher clan sure enjoys them! The only problem though is that most store/bakery bought cookies contain all kinds of junk. Well today I am sharing with you a cookie recipe that is not only a healthy recipe but also is in a Fitness Nutrition Plan called the 21 Day Fix (for more details about the Fix - click here). In this program you follow a workout program but you also learn proper portion control by using a color coded container system. Needless to say I am very thankful for the program because these cookies are GREAT!! 

So, here you go a new recipe to add to your recipe box!!

Oatmeal Cookies with Chocolate Morsels and Toasted Pecans

Ingredients...

1 cup old fashioned rolled oats

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/4 cup semisweet chocolate morsels

1/4 cup toasted raw pecans, chopped

Directions...

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. Lightly coat baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray, set aside

3. In a medium bowl combine oats, cinnamon, and salt; mix well

4. Add applesauce, morsels, and pecans; mix well

5. Drop 1 tablespoon of mixture onto prepared baking sheet, flatten with back of spoon

6. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until firm

These cookies were a perfect snack for myself and my family!!

We all loved them which is always a huge bonus!! I did find that they were still a bit gooey after the bake time but as I let them sit out they got harder. 

and if you are following the 21 Day Fix program, in the 21 Day Fix Eating Plan Guide 2 cookies is equal to 1 yellow container. 

Well last but not least enjoy and please let me know what your thoughts are!!
