Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Add the unsweetened applesauce, honey, and vanilla extract, and whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Fold in the Sun-Maid raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Lightly flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingers to create a round, even shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will remain soft but will firm up as the cookies cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
