Low Fat Oatmeal Cookies
This cookie recipe is the result of my mom tweaking the recipe for the “worlds best cookie”. She wanted a way to get more oatmeal in her diet, but needed to keep it low fat. Every time I go to my parents house, the first thing I do is raid the cookie jar…
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup margarine (I use olivina or olive oil becel)
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon almond extract
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 5 cups oatmeal
Pre-heat your oven to 375.
Mix first 4 ingredients in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer. In a separate bowl, stir flour, salt and baking soda and then add to wet ingredients. Next add the oatmeal one cup at a time.
Spread cookie mixture onto a large baking tray lined with a silicone baking sheet. You can use a rolling pin to spread it out to the edges of the pan. Bake for approximately 10 minutes.
Cool, cut into squares. Makes approximately 40 cookies.
