How to Make Oatmeal Fruit Cookies Low Fat

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) reduced-fat margarine/butter and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg white and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups (225g) rolled oats, 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup (60g) dried cranberries, 1/2 cup (60g) raisins, and 1/2 cup (60g) chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or your favorite!).
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon.
  9. Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
