Reduced Sugar Whole Wheat Oatmeal Cookies image

Dana and I are trying to ease up on the white flour and refined sugar, but it's hard sometimes to do without creating "cardboard" tasting foods. He asked me to find an oatmeal cookie recipe that had no sugar and used whole wheat flour. I wasn't completely successful finding one, so I took a standard oatmeal cookie recipe and...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/3 c whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 c oats, uncooked
1/2 c butter or margerine, soft or melted
2 eggs
1 c nuts (i used a combination of walnuts and almond slices, chopped)
1 c splenda
1/4 c molasses
1 tsp cinnamon
1 pkg chopped dates or dried fruit. i made two batches, one with dates and the other with a package of dried mixed berries. they were both delicious.

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Mix flour, baking powder, Splenda, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and oats together. Add butter, eggs, vanilla. Stir in remainder of ingredients.
  • 2. Place walnut-sized balls of dough on greased cookie sheet, and flatten (where it's whole wheat, they don't spread without some help). I also smoothed the edges with my fingers so that they wouldn't be so bad to crumble.
  • 3. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes on cookie sheet, then transfer gently to a wire rack to finish the cooling process. These will do best if you don't flatten them to any more than 1/3 inch thick. They'll have a chewy, dense texture...and if you like whole grain foods, I'm guessing you'll really be pleased with the taste of these.

I'm not a huge fan of oatmeal cookies, but these were surprisingly good! The reduced sugar content makes them less sweet than traditional oatmeal cookies, which I prefer.
