DIABETIC OATMEAL-RAISIN COOKIES
This is my absolute favorite homemade cookie in the whole world! When I make a batch, I have to hide them, give part of them away, and basically lock them in the cabinet. They just don't last. I got so tired of not being able to eat the regular ones from the Elves in the magic tree, so I adapted a really good recipe. I hope you like them as much as I do.

DIABETIC OATMEAL COOKIES WITH CHOCOLATE CHUNKS AND CANDIED GINGE
This is my own adapted version that I made from an Epicurious recipe. They are delicious but I need to say that they taste best the next day. When fresh from the oven the ginger hasn't really matured and mingled to it's best yet.

Yield Makes about 2 dozen cookies
Number Of Ingredients 14
Steps:
- Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and a second rack in the lower third then preheat to 375°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, sugar, and brown sugar and beat on medium speed, scraping the bowl occasionally, until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture in 3 batches, stirring until just combined. Add the bittersweet and semisweet chocolate chips and the candied ginger and fold until just incorporated. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic directly on the dough's surface, and chill at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
- Drop the dough by heaping 2 tablespoons onto the baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies. Bake, switching the cookies between the upper and lower racks about halfway through baking, until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool the cookies on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Continue baking cookies on cooled baking sheets. DO AHEAD: The cookies can be baked ahead and stored, in an airtight container at room temperature, up to 3 days.
Tips:
- Use Old-Fashioned Oats: For a chewy texture, use old-fashioned oats instead of quick-cooking or steel-cut oats.
- Control Sweetness: Adjust the amount of stevia or other sweetener to your desired sweetness level. Start with a small amount and add more if needed.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
- Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Overbaking can dry out the cookies.
- Store Properly: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
