OATMEAL AND RAISIN SPICE COOKIE BARS



Oatmeal and Raisin Spice Cookie Bars image

These can be made into individual cookies but seem easier baked in a pan and then cut. Substitute dried cranberries or dried chopped apricots if you like. They are very thin bars. From Simply Heartsmart by Bonnie Stern.

Time 30m

Yield 30 bars, 30 serving(s)

1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Brush a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with oil, then line with parchment paper or foil, pressing paper down firmly so it stays. Leave a slight overhang of paper.
  • In mixing bowl cream the margarine or butter until light. Add the sugars and beat until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla and mix in well.
  • In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice and ginger. Mix into the batter, then stir in the oatmeal and raisins.

  • Let cool for 3 or 4 minutes, then lift gently out of the pan. Cool a couple more minutes, cut into squares, then cool fully.
