Ingredients
  

  • 2 large egg whites
  • 3/4 cup avocado oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup dark brown sugar packed lightly
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2/3 cup raisins
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, beat the egg whites, avocado oil, salt, granulated sugar, and dark brown sugar together until the mixture looks smooth and combined.
  • Add the unsweetened applesauce, raisins, vanilla extract, baking soda, and cinnamon, then stir well and scrape around the bowl so the raisins are evenly distributed.
  • Stir in the old-fashioned oats until evenly mixed into the dough.
  • Add the all-purpose flour and mix only until incorporated, stopping as soon as no dry streaks of flour remain.
  • Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour; when ready to bake, heat the oven to 375°F, or 350°F for a convection oven.
  • Roll the chilled dough into balls about 1 1/2 inches across, place 12 on each baking sheet with a little room between them, and bake for about 13 minutes until the edges look set but the centers are still tender.
  • Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for about 1 minute, then use a spatula to transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store completely cooled cookies in an airtight container on the counter for 3 to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze in a sealed container or freezer bag with parchment between layers if desired; thaw on the counter, or warm a cookie for just a few seconds in the microwave for fresh-baked softness.
