Oatmeal Cookie Recipe

Here is a great oatmeal cookie recipe that should appeal to all of you who are on a low sugar, low fat diet. They are not overly sweet but hit the spot when you are craving a cookie with your coffee or tea.

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (not packed)
  • a little less than 1/2 cup margarine
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup white flour
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup oatmeal
  • water as you need it
Cream together the brown sugar and margarine. Add egg and vanilla extract. Set aside. Combine dry ingredients and then add them to the brown sugar mixture. Add water a bit at a time until a moist dough begins to form. Drop by tsps onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake in a 325 degree oven for 15 minutes. The cookies should be lightly browned on the bottom. Cookies may seem small but these allow a bite or two to satisfy your sweet tooth.
