Low Calorie Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

I was kind of hoping all the baby weight would come off the day I gave birth, but sadly some still remains. These days I find myself eating a lot more low calorie food and trying to make time to exercise. Hence, this recipe. The cookies are 69 calories each and are very good. The texture is very dense and they turned out quite fluffy.


Ingredients:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup margarine
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup rolled oats
Preparations:
  1. Mix flour, baking soda and oats. 
  2. Separately, combine egg whites, vanilla, sugars, margarine and peanut butter. Beat well.
  3. Combine both sets of ingredients. Mix well.
  4. Take a rounded teaspoon worth of dough and roll into a ball. Bake at 375 for 8 - 10 minutes or until edges are golden. 

Makes 36 servings.
