Healthy Apple Cookies

I have no idea where I found this recipe, all I know is I've been making it every fall for the last 6 years. They are really yummy, super soft cookies that also happen to be way more healthy then most other kinds of cookies. They have no added sugar, their sweetness comes entirely from the natural sugar in the fruit and a tiny bit of agave nectar or honey.

Healthy Apple Cookies



Ingredients
3/4cup chopped dates
1/2 cup peeled & finely chopped apple
1/2cup raisins
1/2 cup water
1 cup + 1 tablespoon flour (I used whole wheat)
1teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1 teaspoon agave nectar or honey

Directions
Preheat oven to 350f. In large saucepan combine fruit and water. Bring to a boil, then simmer 3 minutes. In a bowl combine flour, cinnamon and baking soda. Add to apple mixture. Mix well. In a small bowl combine eggs and agave or honey, beat well then add to apple mixture. Drop spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet and bake 10-12 minutes. Makes 2 dozen.
