UPDATE: I made this for breakfast and they are really good and very easy to make! The recipe does not say fat free milk but based on the fat content, I really think that is what you need to use. I also got 13 pancakes from this batter using 1/4 cup batter per pancake so I think that 2 pancakes would be a serving at 4 ww points each. I used Log Cabin Lite Reduced Calories syrup. It had was 2 WW points per serving. they do make a sugar free pancake syrup but I really did not like that and I LOVE the Lite! We will occasionally make this in my house because it is a higher point breakfast but it is really good!

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES
~
½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon table salt
1¼ cup oatmeal (regular or quick, not instant)
1 cup raisins, currants or Raisinets (optional)
~
Preheat oven to 350F. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugars well with an electric mixer. Add the egg and vanilla and combine well. (Caution: What follows is an unorthodox but mixing shortcut.) Add flour, cinnamon, soda and salt to bowl without mixing into butter mixture. With a spoon, lightly combine them on top, still without incorporating. Finally, use the mixer to combine well. With a wooden spoon, stir in the oatmeal and, if you’re a raisin-lover, the raisins, currants or Raisinets.
Using two spoons, one to scoop and one to scrape, fill a baking sheet, leaving room for spreading, shaping dough a bit to make round. Bake for 12 – 15 minutes; watch the first tray carefully, the time seems to vary from batch to batch. Let cool slightly, then transfer to paper towels or wire racks to finish cooling.
