OATMEAL FRUIT COOKIES (LOW FAT)



Oatmeal Fruit Cookies (Low Fat) image

Recently in the mood to make oatmeal cookies and was pleasantly surprised to find a recipe that used reduced fat margarine or butter. Adapted to suit my tastes, this cookie is soft and moist. For a crisper cookie bake at 325 degrees. Just know they won't stay crispy for more than a day, if they last that long.

Oatmeal Dried Fruit Cookies image

These are the best oatmeal cookies I've ever had! Very buttery and very hearty. Any dried fruit works well such as cherries, raisins, cranberries, blueberries, or chopped apricots. For a really decadent treat, use chocolate chips and nuts instead of fruit.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas are sweeter and have a more intense flavor, making them perfect for cookies. Be sure to mash them well so that they blend seamlessly into the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough, dense cookies. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop ensures that all of your cookies are the same size and shape, which helps them bake evenly.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes helps the cookies hold their shape better in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking can make the cookies dry and crumbly. Bake them until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.

Conclusion:

These oatmeal fruit cookies are a delicious and healthy snack that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are made with wholesome ingredients like oats, bananas, and raisins, and they are low in fat and sugar. The cookies are also easy to make, and they can be customized to your liking.

These cookies are a great way to enjoy a healthy and delicious snack without feeling guilty. They are also a great way to get your kids to eat more fruit and oats.
