Servings: persons

1 1/4 cups Splenda sugar substitute
2 teaspoons sweet n low brown sugar substitute (optional)
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 egg whites or 1 egg
2 tablespoons nonfat milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
3 cups Quaker Oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
1 cup diced dried mixed fruit or 1 cup raisins (optional)
powdered sugar, glaze (optional)
cinnamon (for sprinkling) (optional)

1
Heat oven to 350u00b0F.
2
Line cookie sheets with parchment.
3
You only need 2.
4
In large bowl, beat sugars and applesauce until well blended.
5
Add egg whites, milk and vanilla; beat well.
6
Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger; mix well.
7
Add oats and dried fruit; mix well.
8
(Dough will be moist.) Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto cookie sheets.
9
I fit them in 4 X 5 rows with one cookie squeezed into the side.
10
Press down cookies to desired thickness and width (these cookies will NOT spread because of no fat) Bake 4 minutes, then turn cookie sheet around to the other side and bake another 4.
11
Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets; remove to wire rack.
12
Cool completely.
13
Store tightly covered.
14
I suggest using my Splenda Powdered Sugar Glaze.
15
One recipe should do the trick.
16
Sprinkle with extra cinnamon for an extra kick, if desired.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
