LOW-FAT OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

LOW FAT CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F; line two baking sheets with parchment paper or use a silpat.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
• In a large bowl, with a mixer, cream together the butter and the sugars on medium speed.
• Add the egg, followed by the applesauce and vanilla extract.
• Working by hand, stir in the flour mixture and the oats until just combined and no streaks of flour remain; stir in the chocolate chips.
• Drop heaping tablespoonfuls (approx 1 tbsp each) of the dough onto prepared baking sheets, flattening each cookie slightly (I forgot to do this).
• Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until cookies become light brown at the edges.
• Let cool on baking sheet for 3 or 4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Store in an airtight container so you don't eat them all in one sitting!

OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Beat butter in the bowl of a stand mixer (or using an electric beater) for about 30 seconds. Add sugars and beat until light and fluffy (pause to scrape down sides and bottom of bowl, if needed).
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating until combined.
• Stir in vanilla extract.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
• Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture until completely combined. Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl so ingredients are well-mixed.
• Gradually stir in oats until completely combined. If using raisins or chocolate chips, stir them in at this point.
• Chill dough in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and prepare cookie sheets by lining with parchment paper.
• Drop cookie by rounded 2-3 Tablespoon-sized ball onto parchment paper, spacing at least 2" apart.
• Bake on 375F (190C) for 10-12 (edges should be slightly browned, centers may still be slightly underbaked but shouldn't be raw, they'll bake completely as they cool).
• Allow cookies to cool completely on cookie sheet before serving and enjoying.
