It was one afternoon when i craved to eat a cookie but i couldn't (sadly) because i am conscious with calories (yeah i'm pathetic...) so i was browsing my best ever reliable baking cookbook (Fantastics Food's Chocolate & Baking) and found this oatmeal recipe, and then I substituted the regular sugar with Splenda.
The ingredients are so simple, you'll me amazed how yummy the cookies are without adding extra pounds!
1 stick unsalted butter (= 1/2 cup or 210g)
11 packets Splenda (replacing 1/2 cup sugar)
1 egg
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups oatmeal
3/4 cup raisins
2 tbsp sesame seeds (optional but makes a difference!)
- Mix butter and sugar until blended. Use electric mixer or just whipped by hand
- Add the egg
- Add the sifted flour, baking powder, and salt and continue to mix
- Add oatmeal, raisins and sesame seeds
- Scooped cookie size of the mixed batter in a baking tray with parchment or wax paper.
- Baked in a pre-heated oven for 15 minutes at 350F or 175C
- Enjoy!
- use butter at room temperature
- if using salted batter, do skip the use of salt
- use the rolled oatmeal and not the instant oatmeal
