New Secret Recipe
Mrs. Fields makes the best oatmeal cookies. I can never get enoughof these treats --
that is why I bake them at home. This recipe captures the right amount of sweetness
and spice to make these cookies JUST RIGHT!
2 1/2 cups Flour
1 cup Quick oats (not instant)
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Soda
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon Cloves
2 teaspoons Grated lemon zest
1 cup Dark brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup Butter
1 large Egg
1/2 cup Unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup Honey
1 cup Fresh apple, peeled and finely chopped
1 cup Raisins
Topping:
1/2 cup Quick oats
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
In a medium bowl combine the flour, oats, salt, soda, cinnamon,cloves and lemon zest.
Mix well and set aside. Cream the sugar and butter together in a large bowl using an
electric mixer. Add the egg, applesauce and honey and beat at medium speed until smooth.
Add the flour mixture, fresh apple and raisins, and blend at low speed until just combined.
The dough willbe quite soft. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets,
1 1/2inches apart. If you wish, sprinkle the cookies with oats.
Bake the cookies for 23-25 minutes or until the bottoms are golden.
This recipe makes about 48 cookies.

Cooking Tips For Soft, Chewy Cookies:
- Do not over mix the dough or use too much flour
. - Bake cookies the minimum amount of time, even though the centermay
look slightly underbaked. Let cookies stand on baking sheet for
one to three minutes to continue to bake, then remove to cooling rack
. - Store soft cookies in an airtight container. - Do not store soft chewy
cookies with crisp type cookies. - Use shiny aluminum cookie sheets, not dark colored ones.
