I altered my favorite Oatmeal Cookie Recipe that I have been using for 40 years because we are trying to limit the sugar in our diets. Oatmeal is also supposed to be a grain that is healthy for you.
Combine and beat:
- 1/4 cup butter, 1/2 cup oil, blended, with
- 1 cup Splenda
Add 2 eggs and beat until light
Combine in separate bowl:
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup Oatmeal
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Mix in cup:
- 1/4 cup sour milk (or 1 teaspoon vinegar and enough milk to make 1/4 cup)
Add dry ingredients and milk alternately to egg mixture. Beat well.
If your dough is too dry, add more milk, a little at a time.
Add Optional Ingredients
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts
Make balls about the size of a walnut. Place on greased Cookie Sheet. Press down with a fork.
Bake about 15 minutes at 400 degrees F or until golden brown. Slide cookies off onto paper towel to cool.
Store in tightly covered container.
