These oatmeal raisin cookies turned out so incredibly soft and chewy! I think the canned squash was the key ingredient!

- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1/2 tsp baking soda

- 1/2 cup canned squash
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup liquid egg whites
- 1/2 cup raisins
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350*F.
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well until batter is blended evenly.
- Use a tablespoon to portion cookies on a greased baking sheet, approximately 2 inches apart.
- Bake cookies for 12-15 minutes.
- Remove cookies from baking sheet and allow to cool on wire rack.
- Eat and enjoy!
DELICIOUS!!!

The cookies look great – I never (obviously) would have thought to use squash. To be fair, I’d probably never bake cookies from scratch either
Yum! Who thought squash cookies would look so good?
your baking always always looks delicious Tina!!! I have some sweet potato puree (canned from WF?) that I want to try in some kind of baking experiment soon too!
thanks for sharing, and I hope you are having a fabulous Monday!
Those look great. I love oatmeal cookies – I made a pumpkin version a while back that was delicious so I’m sure these are great.

You are all over that squash, sistah! Looking good!!
Those look so good! I want to make some!

These look SO good!
Are you going to attend the Starbucks tea tasting this Saturday? I’m going
@Elina (Healthy and Sane): Yes, I am! I think Sabrina is trying to come, too!
Those look SO GOOD I wish I could make them right now (I’m currently studying abroad in France, w/o access to an oven!). Those are exactly my type of cookies, healthy and with a lot of “stuff” in them! I may be wrong but I think they have only about 56 calories each (calculating calories instantaneously is my superpower . . .) and tons of fiber. Awesome recipe!
The cookies look fabulous! I love baking w/ squash.
YUM!
how do you calculate the calories for each cookies?
Yay, great!
They are in the oven right now! Cant wait to try them out!! I doubled the recipe (because the squash can that I’ve got is HUGE and I don’t want it to go to waste…
)!! BTW I used whole wheat flour and replace brown sugar by canne sugar… in order to make them super healthy!! 
Thanks to share your amazing recipes!!!
I made these cookies last night and substituted canned pumpkin for the squash & added about 2 tbs ground flax – holy YUM. Thanks for the recipe Tina!
I am going to give some (and the recipe with a link to your blog) to my cousins who I am going to see for the holidays!
I made cookies very similar to these last night but made them with chocolate and vanilla chips instead of raisins. Delish and just enough chocolate to hit the spot!
