Reduced Fat Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Preheat the oven to 190C. Spray cookie sheet(s) with non-stick spray.
Mix together:
1 1/4 c AP flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
In a separate bowl, blend together:
1/4 c corn, sunflower, or canola oil
2 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
1 c packed dark brown sugar
1 egg
1 egg white
1/3 c light corn syrup (I have a stash of Karo syrup)
1 tbsp milk
2 1/2 tsp vanilla
Add to the oil mixture:
2 c rolled oats
1 c raisins
Let the oat mixture rest for 10 minutes, then stir in the flour mixture. Drop the dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake 7-10 minutes until lightly browned all over.
I forgot about the Karo syrup ingredient until now, so here's another recipe (not low fat though!):
