Delicious Low-Carb Cookies

I can't believe I haven't posted this recipe for low-carb cookies. I used to make them a lot in the days when I packed a lunch for work. The recipe comes from Anne Lindsay's Lighthearted Cookbook. Soft and yummy!

Oatmeal-Apricot Cookies

1. Mix together:

• 1/3 cup (75 mL) margarine (I use olive oil.)
• 1 cup (250 mL) brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) milk
• 1 teaspoon (5 mL) vanilla

2. Add:

• 1 cup (250 mL) whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon (5 mL) baking powder
• 1/2  teaspoon (2 mL) baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) cinnamon
• 1 1/4 cup (300 mL) rolled oats
• 1/4 cup (50 ml) wheat germ
• 1 cup (250 mL) chopped dried apricots (or raisins or chopped dates)

 3. Drop in small spoonfuls onto cookie sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes.

Oops! I had forgotten how they spread! I should have baked them farther apart. I had to cut some apart after they were baked.














I tried baking a few in a muffin tin...














Next time, I'll add a little more oats if I use (liquid) olive oil again, and see how they look and taste then.
