These cookies are incredibly delicious and really healthy too! For an even healthier version, decrease the sugar amount to 1/3 cup (this way the raisins’ natural sweetness will come through).

I love oatmeal cookies and with such a low calorie count I am definately going to bake these and try no to eat the whole batch ;O)

Personally, I don’t like recipes for sweets that are targeted for dieters. My logic is simple. I think it’s simply too hard for most dieters to control the amount of sweets they ingest. They’ll rationalize that these cookies, for example, are low in calories so “it won’t hurt” to have several. Of course, some of us know better.

I just made these and they are gorgeous….I couldnt resist swapping out 2 tsp of oil for butter tho o)
I didnt have any wheatgerm so left it out but they baked up a dream. Definately a keeper thx for the recipe and keep up the good work!
az
ps i also dropped the sugar to 1/3 cup. I used brown sugar and they really didnt need the 1/2 cup i may use even less next time

These cookies are super yummy! They are a little on the sweet side so I will probably decrease the sugar next time. I disagree that dieters should stay away from cookies and sweets. As soon as I tell myself I can’t have something, it’s all I can think about. I like to have a few substitutes on hand for the “junk food” I would normally have.
