These cookies are very good for a treat if you want to watch your weight. So, here it is. The original version used 2 tsp. of ginger and 2 tsp. of nutmeg. I don't like strong spices, so I cut those two items to one tsp. each. I also cut the dried cherries to one cup, down from two, because I wanted more cookie and less fruit. The fruit is very good and adds moisture though, so leaving it at 2 cups would be fine. Ingredients:
3/4 cup smart balance light butter spread (can substitute with a combination of pureed prunes and apple sauce) |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
3/4 cup splenda granular, sugar substitute (1 cup splenda = 1 cup sugar) |
1 egg |
1/4 cup water |
1 cup wheat flour |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 teaspoon nutmeg |
2 teaspoons ginger |
3 cups oats |
1 cup dried cherries |
Directions:
1. Mix, drop by heaping teaspoon and flatten cookies on oiled cookie sheet. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes at 350°F. |
