OATMEAL FRUIT COOKIES (LOW FAT)



Oatmeal Fruit Cookies (Low Fat) image

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.

Tips:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) before starting the recipe.
  • Use ripe, fresh fruits for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have any buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be sure to mix the wet and dry ingredients separately before combining them. This will help to prevent the cookies from becoming tough.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape.
