Low Fat (Bean) Cookies

Preheat oven to 325
Lightly grease baking sheets

Stir together in one bowl:
2 cups regular oats
1 cup flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg
In a large bowl or in your blender/food processor mix well:
1 14 oz. can white kidney, navy, cannellini, or any white beans blended with at least a few teaspoons of the liquid. (I cooked dry beans ahead of time and blended them, wrapped ¾ c. amounts in plastic wrap, and froze in a labeled plastic bag so all I would have to do is thaw one to make a batch of these cookies)
3 to 4 tablespoons softened butter
1 cup brown sugar
1large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla

Nearly combine your wet and dry ingredients and stir in:
1/3 cup raisins- If you want your raisins softer, plump them: cover with water and barely get to a boil in microwave (takes about 45 seconds in mine) and allow to sit for a few minutes. I also add some of the sweetened liquid to my dough but I think most people drain it all off.
¼ cup coarsely chopped pecans. You could try walnuts or almonds.
1/3 cup chocolate chips

Bake 14 minutes until golden around edges
Makes about 2 dozen cookies
Cool on wire rack and enjoy!
