HEALTHY CHEWY OATMEAL, RAISIN, PECAN COOKIES
This is a healthy low-calorie version of my original recipe. This recipe uses lower calorie ingredients such as Splenda Sweetener, Splenda Brown Sugar, and wheat flower. These cookies are plump, chewy, and full of crunchy pecans and raisins. The honey really sets if off with a unique taste. Once you make these cookies with the honey in them, you will never want to make oatmeal cookies without honey ever again! And it can be easily altered to your liking by changing the add-ins from raisins & pecans, to just about anything you want (walnuts, dates, dried cranberries, etc).

- Preheat oven to 350°F Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, or almunim foil (butter foil).
- OPTIONAL: Soak 1 cup of rasins overnight in water to make them nice and plump.
- In a small bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt with a fork.

- Gradually add the flour mixture to the large bowl while beating on low.
- Stir in oats, raisins, and pecans.

OATMEAL RAISIN PECAN COOKIES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350. Mix first 5 ingredients together in a bowl. Add the next 3 ingredients, stir together, and set aside. In a separate, large bowl, cream together the wet (last 5) ingredients. Then add the dry ingredients and mix with a fork. Use approximately 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie. Bake 12 minutes. Do not over bake. Do not allow edges to brown. The cookies will look under done when removed from the oven.
Tips:
- Use old fashioned oats. Quick-cooking or steel-cut oats will not give the cookies the same texture.
- Toast the pecans. Toasting the pecans will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. Chilling the dough will make it easier to handle and will help the cookies hold their shape.
- Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature. Baking the cookies at too high of a temperature will cause them to brown too quickly and may burn the edges.
Conclusion:
Oatmeal raisin pecan cookies are a classic cookie that is loved by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed as a snack or dessert. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your oatmeal raisin pecan cookies turn out perfectly every time.
