Time 46m

Yield 42 cookies, 42 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/4 cups Splenda sugar substitute
2 teaspoons sweet n low brown sugar substitute (optional)
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 egg whites or 1 egg
2 tablespoons nonfat milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
3 cups Quaker Oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
1 cup diced dried mixed fruit or 1 cup raisins (optional)
powdered sugar, glaze (optional)
cinnamon (for sprinkling) (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F.

  • You only need 2.

  • Add egg whites, milk and vanilla; beat well.
  • Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger; mix well.
  • Add oats and dried fruit; mix well.
  • (Dough will be moist.) Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto cookie sheets.
  • I fit them in 4 X 5 rows with one cookie squeezed into the side.
  • Press down cookies to desired thickness and width (these cookies will NOT spread because of no fat) Bake 4 minutes, then turn cookie sheet around to the other side and bake another 4.
  • Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets; remove to wire rack.
  • Cool completely.
  • Store tightly covered.
  • I suggest using my Splenda Powdered Sugar Glaze.
  • One recipe should do the trick.
  • Sprinkle with extra cinnamon for an extra kick, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats. They provide a chewier texture than quick-cooking or instant oats.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and flavor.
