Sugar Free Oatmeal Cookies

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.
