LOW-FAT BUTTERSCOTCH OATMEAL PECAN COOKIES
Wow these are good for being low-fat! Sometimes to make them even healthier, I replace half the flour with whole wheat flour, and I use 1/4 cup honey to replace half of the light corn syrup. These do not spread out at all. They are wonderful things to pop in your mouth when you want something sweet. This is a variation from Tribole's "Healthy Desserts"

Tips:
- Choose the Right Oatmeal: Opt for old-fashioned rolled oats instead of instant or quick oats, as they provide a more satisfying texture and hold their shape better in the cookies.
- Use Light Brown Sugar: Light brown sugar imparts a richer flavor and moisture to the cookies compared to granulated sugar.
- Cream the Butter and Sugar Thoroughly: This step helps incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter and fluffier cookie.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough allows the flavors to meld and makes it easier to handle, preventing the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake at the Right Temperature: Bake the cookies at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Add Pecans at the End: Stir in the chopped pecans towards the end of the baking time to prevent them from burning.
