I love Raisin oatmeal cookies.  So today I adapted my favorite.  Here is
my first try.  Next batch I will use rice flakes to see which I like
best.  I believe that I would also increase the cinnamon.  The toasted
soy flakes overpower the flavorings.

Raisin Cookies (remake of Oatmeal Raisin)
1 c. margarine
1 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 c. granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
3/4 c. tapioca flour
1 c. brown rice flour
1 t. xanthum gum
1 t. baking soda
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. salt (optional)
3 c. toasted soy flakes
1 c.  raisins

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Beat together margarine and sugars until
creamy.  Add eggs and vanilla; beat well.  Add combined flour, baking
soda, cinnamon, xanthum gum and salt; mix well.  Stir in soy flakes and
raisins.  Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet.
(I use spray oil)  Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.  Cool
one minute on cookie sheet; remove to wire rack.  Makes about 4 dozen
cookies.

Nutrition tip:  Substitute 1/2 c. applesauce or apple butter for 1/2 c.
(1 stick) margarine.  It reduces the total fat in one cookie from 4
grams to 2 grams per cookie.
