I've been craving cookies for the past couple of weeks so I finally caved in this weekend and made these Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. I've had this recipe for several years now and it is a favorite for both of us. There's an extra bonus because as far as cookies go, these really aren't all that bad for you. Johnathon is not a raisin fan so I usually mix up the dough and get half of them baking before mixing raisins in the other half of the dough. You'll want to make at least 2 batches, trust me. :)
1/3 c. low-fat cream cheese
1 c. brown sugar
1 egg yolk
3/4 tsp vanilla
3/4 c. flour
1 1/2 c. oatmeal
3/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c. raisins
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a baking sheet with canola oil.
In a large bowl, combine butter, cream cheese and brown sugar. Add egg yolk and vanilla and mix briefly.
Combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Add to creamed mixture and mix until all dry ingredients are moistened.
Portion heaping teaspoonfuls of dough onto baking sheet 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake for 7 minutes, lightly flatten with finger, and bake an additional 4 minutes.
Makes about 24 cookies.
