These cookies are very good for a treat if you want to watch your weight. So, here it is. The original version used 2 tsp. of ginger and 2 tsp. of nutmeg. I don't like strong spices, so I cut those two items to one tsp. each. I also cut the dried cherries to one cup, down from two, because I wanted more cookie and less fruit. The fruit is very good and adds moisture though, so leaving it at 2 cups would be fine.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup smart balance light butter spread (can substitute with a combination of pureed prunes and apple sauce)
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup splenda granular, sugar substitute (1 cup splenda = 1 cup sugar)
1 egg
1/4 cup water
1 cup wheat flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons ginger
3 cups oats
1 cup dried cherries
Directions:
1. Mix, drop by heaping teaspoon and flatten cookies on oiled cookie sheet. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes at 350°F.
