Recipe for Cave Bear Oatmeal Raisin Cookies - The low fat, low calorie original recipe from Men in Fur

Oats have been associated in health news as a heart-healthy addition to the daily diet. What better reason to enjoy our divine diet recipe for Cave Bear Oatmeal Raisin Cookies?

Here is our tasty, diet-wise recipe:

Ingredients

1 cup of sifted flour
dash of salt
1/2 teaspoon of sifted baking soda
1/4 cup of solid vegetable shortening
1 cup of Splenda
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
dash - and just a dash, of ground nutmeg
1/2 cup of oats (we like the original long cooking oats in our cookies which add a chewy texture)
1/4 cup of red, brown or golden raisins
1 teaspoon of Real Vanilla
1 egg OR use egg substitute if watching cholesterol (will also cut calories)

Mix wet ingredients with shortening; add in spices, oatmeal and raisins. Slowly add flour as last ingredient. Add more flour if necessary to form a pliable dough. Shape and bake at 350 degrees until cookies are set. Remove and allow cookies to cool. May add nuts for even more taste and texture but be sure to account for extra calories as nut calories do add up fast.

Entire batch contains about 850 calories.
