Copycat Baker's Breakfast Cookies

Delicious replica of the famous Baker's Breakfast Cookies.  Healthy on the go breakfast!!
All the variations have now been tested!!!
I have also started adding 1/4 cup ground flax to the mix for an extra nutritional boost!


This is the "basic" Oatmeal Raisin:

3/4 cup apple juice concentrate*
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
2 1/2 cup rolled oats
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups all purpose flour(preferably Eagle Mills w/ Ultragrain or you can use all whole wheat)
1 TB baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
6 TB prune puree(baby food aisle or make your own and freeze in ice cube trays)
3 TB canola oil
5 egg whites
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup chopped raisins
2-3 TB water


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line
with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, stir together the brown sugar,oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder,
salt and cinnamon.










In another bowl combine concentrate, molasses, prune puree, canola oil, egg whites and vanilla.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid and raisins.











Mix until well blended.  Dough will be QUITE stiff!  You may need to use your hands and knead it like bread dough.(kitchenaids do a fantastic job of mixing the stiff dough!)
 For all recipes add in the water AS NEEDED, some recipes will need some water, others wont.

Scoop cookies by about 1/4 cup and roll into golf ball sized balls.  Place cookies 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets

 Flatten to 1/2" with wet hands. These cookies do not
flatten very much while baking.

In the preheated oven, bake 8 minutes for chewy cookies 10 to 12 minutes for
dry cookies. Cookies will not get crisp.
( IMO 8-9 minutes is plenty. They are much better slightly UNDER baked.)

Remove from cookie sheets to cool on
wire racks.

All recipes make approx 24 cookies--nutrition link per cookie.
