Recipe: Low Fat Breakfast Cookies (using oats and whole wheat flour)

LOW FAT BREAKFAST COOKIES
"Enjoy with a cold glass of milk and a piece of fruit for a quick and nutritious breakfast."



1 cup old fashioned oats, uncooked
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Spice Islands Ground Saigon Cinnamon
2 tablespoons Mazola Corn Oil
1 tablespoon butter OR margarine, softened
1/2 cup packed light OR dark brown sugar
1/4 cup Karo Dark Corn Syrup
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons Spice Islands Pure Vanilla Extract
1/2 cup dried cranberries

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Combine oats, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, wheat germ, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.

Whisk together oil, butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, egg and vanilla in a small bowl. Add to flour mixture until blended.

Stir in cranberries. Drop dough by level tablespoons 2-inches apart on greased baking sheets.

Bake 7 to 10 minutes until lightly browned around edges. Remove cookies to wire rack to cool.

VARIATIONS:
Experiment with different mix-ins instead of dried cranberries. Pick one: 1/2 cup chopped apples, 1/2 cup raisins, 1/2 cup chopped nuts OR 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (omit cinnamon if using chocolate chips). NOTE: Using chocolate chips or nuts will slightly increase fat content of cookies.
