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.

Time 28m

Yield 2 dozen, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 tablespoons reduced fat margarine or 6 tablespoons light butter
3/4 cup brown sugar (I used 1/4 cup brown sugar Splenda and 1/4 cup brown sugar with very good results)
1 egg white
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 cup raisins or 1/4 cup currants
1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped (or use more raisins)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Prepare cooking sheet with a light coat of cooking spray or parchment paper.
  • Using a mixer, blend together the margarine/butter, sugar, extract and egg white in a medium sized bowl.
  • Combine oatmeal, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and ginger. Mix into the wet ingredients.
  • Stir in by hand the cranberries, raisins and nuts (if using).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Serve or store in an air tight container.
