I replaced margarine with applesauce, and brown sugar with blackstrap molasses, but you can certainly try it with the other two ingredients.

That combines two of my favourite things: oatmeal and cookies!  Thanks lizzle, this is getting tagged for sure.... hmm, I love how all the recipes I have tagged fit into the categories 'muffin', 'cookie', 'snack', or 'dessert'.  Hahahaha.

have everything at home except the applesauce. can you substitute anything else? Like vanilla yogurt? Just a thought - isn't the applesauce just a wet binder?

*shrugs* Haven't tried it! But...tell me how it turns out! :D

oooh, lizzle, these are getting baked tonite!  Sounds so good...I'll let you know how they come out.  Thanks for posting! :-)

these are quite good...i added 1/4 cup raisins and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and they turned out a really nice, soft cookie.  hubby gave 'em two thumbs up!  thanks!

Oh, awesome!! I'm not a fan of raisins, but good call on the cinnamon. I'm going to make some this week! :D

I tried this yesterday but added cinnemon and used splenda instead of sugar, and it was good, and the batch made 12 cookies that came out to be about 70 calories each. The cookies stayed kind of soft though. Is there a way to harden the cookies?

I clicked on your recipe.  The instructions say to cream the margarine and white and brown sugars, but the ingredients list applesauce and white sugar and molasses.  It says to fold in the egg whites, but only 1 egg white is used (?)  Could you please clarify?  Thank you.

bumping this up for holiday baking.  They are delicious!  Mine are decorated with a bit of candied cherry and green citrus peel on top. 

you can make them less mushy with more flour

i love baking for other people but normally i can't join in on the eating fun. this is a soloution, love it!
