I'm looking for recipes for low fat/low or no sugar oatmeal cookies. I just love these darned things, but they are so full of fat and sugar.

Take your regular recipe and experiment:
1. Substitute Splenda for 3/4 of the sugar. I always maintain at least 1/4 of the sugar amount as real sugar.
2. Substitute unsweetened applesauce for all of the margarine/butter. Don't use equal amounts though. Two tablespoons of applesauce is usually appropriate for a standard recipe. I do this for muffins all the time, and it works great. But be aware that using applesauce means that your cookies/muffins won't keep more than a couple of days unless you refrigerate them. That's usually not a problem at my house!
