OATMEAL FRUIT COOKIES (LOW FAT)



Oatmeal Fruit Cookies (Low Fat) image

Recently in the mood to make oatmeal cookies and was pleasantly surprised to find a recipe that used reduced fat margarine or butter. Adapted to suit my tastes, this cookie is soft and moist. For a crisper cookie bake at 325 degrees. Just know they won't stay crispy for more than a day, if they last that long.

OATMEAL DRIED FRUIT COOKIES



Oatmeal Dried Fruit Cookies image

These are the best oatmeal cookies I've ever had! Very buttery and very hearty. Any dried fruit works well such as cherries, raisins, cranberries, blueberries, or chopped apricots. For a really decadent treat, use chocolate chips and nuts instead of fruit.
