A lot of us probably made some sort of New Year's Resolution to eat better. But that doesn't mean you can't still have something sweet every once in awhile. Try out these very flavorful, yet low fat cookies!
Low-fat Maple Glazed Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
1 cup pumpkin
2 egg whites, whipped
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 cup flour (can use half white and half wheat)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cloves
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup raisins (optional)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 or 2 drops maple extract
splash of milk
Directions: In large bowl combine pumpkin and eggs whites. In seperate bowl combine sugar, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, oats and raisins. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix until just moistened.
Drop cookies by tablespoonfuls onto a prepared baking sheet, 2" apart. You can leave cookies in the shape of a ball (the baked cookie will still be a ball) or flatten them out with the bottom of a glass before baking. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
For Glaze: mix the powdered sugar, milk and maple extract in a small bowl, then drizzle over cooled cookies.
You can also save some calories by eating the cookies plain without the glaze, enjoy!!
