Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, combine the applesauce, butter, egg, vanilla, and honey. Whisk until blended. Pour the liquid mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until combined. The dough will be wet and sticky. Fold in the chocolate chips, raisins, and walnuts. Place in the refrigerator and let chill for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 days.
- When ready to bake, place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet. Remove the dough from the refrigerator (if it is very stiff, you may need to let it sit out for 5 to 10 minutes). With a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and arrange on the baking sheet, leaving 1 inch of space around each. With your fingers, gently flatten each cookie to be about 3/4-inch thick.
- Bake until the cookies are golden and firm around the edges and set on top, about 9 to 10 minutes. Place the baking sheet on a wire rack and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer the cookies to the rack to cool completely.

- Drop heaping tablespoonfuls (approx 1 tbsp each) of the dough onto prepared baking sheets, flattening each cookie slightly (I forgot to do this).
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until cookies become light brown at the edges.
- Let cool on baking sheet for 3 or 4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

LOW FAT SOFT, CHEWY SPICE COOKIES
I made these over the holidays and loved them! They're the perfect texture, and no one in my family could believe how little fat they contain! If you like ginger cookies or other spicy cookies, you'll probably find these a good, lower-fat substitute. One caveat, though: they are best eaten within a day of baking; because of their very low fat content, they don't "age" well. They certainly didn't last longer in my house! Each cookie contains 56 calories and less than 1 gram of fat!

Tips for Baking Lower-Fat Chewy Oatmeal Spice Cookies:
- Use a combination of flours. This will help to create a more tender cookie. You can use whole wheat flour, oat flour, or almond flour in addition to all-purpose flour.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will toughen the cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies to spread less and keep their shape. You can chill the dough for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature. This will help to prevent them from burning. Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them. This will allow them to firm up and develop their full flavor.
Conclusion:
These lower-fat chewy oatmeal spice cookies are a delicious and healthy treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick snack or a dessert after a meal. These cookies are also a great way to use up leftover oats. So next time you're looking for a healthier cookie recipe, give these lower-fat chewy oatmeal spice cookies a try.
