Oatmeal Fruit Cookies (Low Fat)

Recently in the mood to make oatmeal cookies and was pleasantly surprised to find a recipe that used reduced fat margarine or butter. Adapted to suit my tastes, this cookie is soft and moist. For a crisper cookie bake at 325 degrees. Just know they won't stay crispy for more than a day, if they last that long.

SERVES 24 , 2 dozen (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Prepare cooking sheet with a light coat of cooking spray or parchment paper.
  2. 2
    Using a mixer, blend together the margarine/butter, sugar, extract and egg white in a medium sized bowl.
  3. 3
    Combine oatmeal, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and ginger. Mix into the wet ingredients.
  4. 4
    Stir in by hand the cranberries, raisins and nuts (if using).
  5. 5
    Drop mounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 16-18 minutes. Lightly flaten the dough with the back of a spoon.
  6. 6
    Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to rest for 2 minutes. Cookies should be lightly browned on the edges. Transfer to wire racks and allow the cookies to cool.
  7. 7
    Serve or store in an air tight container.

Excellent recipe, although I did alter a few of the ingredients: Used a whole egg, added 3/4 tsp. baking powder, and used sweet butter. Chose not to add cranberries. Outstanding texture and flavor. My husband was (still is) thrilled. Thank you.

    Yummy cookies. First let me say that I used 1/4 cup of Splenda brown sugar and 1/4 cup of Splenda regular. For me that was almost on the verge of being too sweet with the sweetness from the raisins. I too found the dough to be to dry even though I used 1/4 cup of egg white (equal to a whole egg), I added more egg white- didn't measure- just poured a bit in, I'd say close to another 1/4 cup. I don't have quick oats so used 3/4 cup of old fashioned oats. The nuts were added to mine. The end result is a soft centered wonderful cookie that nobody would even know has been cut in fat and sugar. Kudos toni for a real keeper!

    Toni--these are really good! Made them today for DH, who is a diabetic and loves oatmeal cookies--his rating was a definite 5*! I used all Splenda blend brown sugar---3/8 of a cup--turned out wonderful. I love that litle bite of the ginger-really adds to the cookie!

    Very good cookies!! I almost ate them all! I had to add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips for my husband (instead of the fruit). I love the crunchy ones the most! I used 3 tablespoons of Smart Balance and 4 tablespoons of Smart Balance Light. (along the 1/4 cup of Splenda Brown Sugar and 1/4 cup regular Brown Sugar. I will make them again!
