Instructions: Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with a nonstick vegetable cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix well. In another bowl, whisk together the shortening, applesauce, granulated and brown sugars, egg white and vanilla extract until the shortening breaks into gravel-like pieces. Add the flour mixture to the applesauce mixture.

Mix well. Fold in the oats and then the raisins. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls onto the cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until a golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet and place on a rack to cool.
