Morning Cookies (Betsy Codier)

1/4 c butter, softened
1/2 c brown sugar, packed
1 egg
3/4 c whole wheat flour
3/4 c applesauce
1/2 c rolled oats
1/3 c wheat bran or germ
1/4 c dry milk
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp salt
1 c raisins  (can toss in some chocolate chips, too, if wanted)
1/4 c chopped nuts

Cream butter and sugar.  Add egg.  Stir or lightly mix everything but the chunky bits (fruit and nuts and chips).  Add.  Stir in chunky bits.  drop by T 2″ apart on greased cookie sheet.  Bake 10 minutes at 375.  I still want to come up with a curried variant of these.  One of my favorite breakfast foods, when I remember to eat breakfast.  You can mess around with what fruit and nuts you use – I’ve done quite a few variants.
