Beverly's Cheese Cookies

3/4 cup raisins
1 cup shredded apple
1 cup shredded cheese (use cheddar, swiss, or provolone, for example -- not too soft, not too hard)
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg (or, 2 egg whites)
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cup wholewheat flour
1/8 tsp baking soda (optional)
1 1/2 cups oats (old-fashioned or quick)
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup favorite chopped nuts (optional)

Combine all moist ingredients in a large bowl; combine all dry ingredients. Then add dry ingredients to moist ingredients and stir well. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto cookie sheet. You may wish to chill the ingredients first and shape into balls with your hands, instead. And, you may also desire to flatten the dough on the sheets with the bottom of a glass or criss-cross with the tines of a fork.

Bake at 375F for 12 to 15 minutes if the cookies are large (used a rounded tablespoon) or at 350F for 10 to 12 minutes for smaller cookies (used a rounded teaspoon), until cookies are set and lightly browned, at least on the bottoms.

You can vary the fruits (dried and/or fresh), nuts, cheeses, spices, grains, maple syrup/honey for brown sugar, etc., for different tastes and textures.
