directions

Step 1

Set the oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.

Step 2

Sprinkle the whiskey or rum over the raisins in a bowl and let stand while you put the batter together.

Step 3

In a bowl, beat the butter, applesauce, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl halfway through. Beat in the egg and egg white, milk, and vanilla.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon; add to the bowl, and beat just until the flour is absorbed. Gently fold in the oats with a rubber scraper.

Step 5

Use 2 spoons to scoop out the batter by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake until the cookies are set but still soft in the centers, and beginning to brown on the edges, 17 to 20 minutes.

Step 6

Let cool on a wire rack.
