These oatmeal cookies will give you the sweet fix you need: full of texture and taste, but NOT full of fat! For variety, put in a cup of chocolate chips, raisins, nuts of your choice, or any other candy that strikes your fancy. Or try using another extract instead of vanilla: how about almond, or raspberry? To reduce calories even more, bake with sugar substitute! With 46 calories per cookie, how can you afford NOT to bake them? Ingredients:
2/3 cup applesauce |
1/4 cup white sugar |
1/4 cup blackstrap molasses |
1 egg white |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 1/2 cups rolled oats |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, cream together the margarine, white sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg whites one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour and baking soda; stir into the sugar mixture. Mix in the rolled oats (and chocolate chips/nuts if desired). Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
