Oatmeal Cookies

I run in there after work almost every day to see if they have any marked down!   

LOL!

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!):

Classic Oatmeal Cookies

Preheat oven to 175C.  Grease cookie sheet(s).

Mix together:

1 3/4 c AP flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg

In a separate bowl, blend:

1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter (softened)
1 1/2 c packed brown sugar
1/4 c sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 tsp vanilla

Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture.  Add in:

1 cup raisins
3 1/2 c rolled oats

Drop by rounded teaspoonfulls about 3 inches apart.  With a wet hand, lightly flatten the cookies.  Bake 6-9 minutes or until lightly browned all over.

Yum!  Thank you!

I don't know if they still do it - Ben & Jerry's is pretty sporadically kept at my local shop, but they did an oatmeal cookie flavored ice cream not too long ago. I forget what it was called - I thought it was kind of an odd flavor for ice cream but it was really, really good. You might keep an eye out - I'll see if I can dig up the name (and if it's still available).

Yes, I've had that before.  It's great!
