Tomorrow we have a play date with The Good's. It's become a normal Thursday event that not only the kids enjoy, but I do too. Whether or not I'm actually going to make something for lunch I haven't decided on, but a dessert is always necessary. I had some reduced sugar craisins in the cabinet and decided to make oatmeal cookies! I prefer to use the reduced sugar ones because they are more tart than the normal ones, which helps cut the sweetness of oatmeal cookies. These cookies are nice and chewy with a little crunch on the edge! They came out to 3 points plus a piece so I can have one and not feel guilty either.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup light butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 egg
tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup whole grain quick cooking oats
1 cup white wheat flour
1 cup reduced sugar craisins
With a mixer, cream together the butter and sugars. Add in the egg, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix in the flour in 1/2 cup increments until smooth. Add the oatmeal. Fold in the craisins. Drop oversized tablespoon sized dough on baking sheet and bake at 350 for 13-15 minutes. This recipe should yield 18 cookies.
