Sugar-Free Fat-Free Oatmeal Cookies

And finally, the long awaited sugar-free (or low sugar) cookie recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup flour
• ½ teaspoon soda
• 1½ cup quick cooking oats
• 2 egg whites, slightly beaten
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup Sweet & Low brown sugar
• 1/3 cup oil
• ½ cup water
• 1 cup raisins
• 4 level measuring spoons of Sweet and Low brown sugar substitute (spoon included in box of sweet ‘n low)

Instructions:

1. Sift together flour, soda, cinnamon and brown sugar substitute
2. Stir in oats
3. Combine egg whites, oil, water, vanilla and raisins and add to flour mixture
4. Mix well
5. Drop batter (1 teaspoon) on lightly oiled cookie sheet
6. Bake 375°F for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on texture desired
   Shorter baking time results in a chewy soft cookie, the longer time in a crisp cookie
