This recipe remake for Old-Fashioned Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are high in
fiber, low in fat and moderate in sugar. And best of all, they are sure to
please even the pickiest palate.
PREP TIPS: * For crisp cookies, flatten dough balls with the back of a
spoon or spatula. * For chewy cookies, leave the cookies mounded in the
middle.
1. Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine sugars and cinnamon. Stir well to
combine. Add next 6 ingredients. Stir well until the mixture is creamy and
are mixed well. Fold raisins into sugar mixture. Set aside.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, baking soda and
baking powder. Stir ingredients well. Pour sugar mixture into the oat
mixture and still until mixed well.
4. Roll cookie dough into small 1-inch balls and place on an an insulated
baking sheet leaving 3 inches between each ball. (For best results,
refrigerate cookie dough for at least an hour before rolling it out.) When
ready to bake, lightly spray each ball with butter-flavored cooking spray.
Bake for 10 minutes and remove from oven.
