Breakfast Cookies (Vegan)

These are a modified version of Chef Chloe's Yoga Cookies.  I call them breakfast cookies because they have so much yummy stuff in them I figure they are good enough for breakfast. :)

Dry:
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 cups rolled oats

Wet:
1/4 cup canola oil (or coconut oil)
3/4 cup applesauce
1/2 cup agave or maple syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla

Goodies:
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cups chopped walnuts
1/2 cups mini choc chips

Mix dry ingredients together.  Then mix wet and then combine.  Add goodies.  Batter will be sticky. Make small cookies (about 1 or 1 1/2 tablespoons batter) on parchment paper and bake at 350 for 12-14 minutes.  These keep very well in the freezer and you can eat them straight from the freezer!
