Xylitol Oatmeal Raising Dark Chocolate (Decandent) Cookies

As we discussed yesterday, xylitol is a great sugar substitute (check posting below!). If you haven't tried it yet, here is a great recipe to start getting familiar with the ingredient!
These cookies taste great, and are quite easy to make.

Oatmeal Raising Dark Chocolate Cookies (with Xylitol)

Servings: approximately 20 cookies

• 1 cup organic raisins
• ¼ cup water
• 3 egg whites
• 1 tbsp honey or agave nectar
• 1 ½ tsp vanilla
• 1 1/3 c xylitol
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• ½ cup nonfat dry milk powder 
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
• 1 cup 70% dark chocolate chips
• 2 ½ cup quick-cooking oats

In a blender or food processor, combine first four ingredients. Process for 10-15 seconds until raisins are finely chopped. Pour into a mixing bowl and add xylitol, and vanilla extracts. Combine next four ingredients and slowly add to raisin mixture. Stir in oats and dark chocolate. Drop by tablespoonfuls two inches apart on greased baking sheet. Bake at 350F for 8-10 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
