Applesaucey Oatmealy Cookies

My little brother was sick not to long ago and whenever

any of us are sick, my Dad always absolutely insists on

putting us on the bratt diet. Rice, Banana, Dry Toast and

apple sauce. Never fails. Well, I guess Alex didn't really

care for the giant jar of organic cinnamon apple sauce that

my dad brought home and instead gulped down my

plain jar and left the huge one to... sit there.

Something must be done, said I. What shall be done, said they.

Cookies were spoken of and all were content.

So, I'm not exactly sure what I did here, but it was good.

I want to retry this and replace the oats with granola.

I think they would be great for hiking. Really soft and hearty

and not too sweet.
