Connie Colgan of Castle Rock, Colorado asked Light & Tasty magazine to trim the fat from her husband's favorite cookie. The results were mouthwateringâ¦and offered 31% less fat than Connie's original snacks. Ingredients:
1/3 cup butter, softened |
1/3 cup reduced-fat butter, softened |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup sugar blend |
1 cup reduced-fat chunky peanut butter |
2 eggs |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1-1/2 cups quick-cooking oats |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 cup raisins |
3/4 cup flaked coconut |
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream the butters, brown sugar and sugar substitute until light and fluffy. Beat in peanut butter. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, oats, baking powder, salt and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in the raisins, coconut and chocolate chips.
2. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks. Yield: 5 dozen.
