Oatmeal Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies

From here, with some changes.

Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 c. white whole wheat flour
  • 1 c. quick oats
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 c. brown sugar
  • 1/4 c. margarine
  • 1/2 c. + 2 T (6 oz) low fat plain yoghurt
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 c. + 1 T. dried cranberries
  • 1/2 c. + 1 T. chocolate chips
Methodology

1. Preheat oven to 350*.

2. Mix flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl.

3. Mix brown sugar, margarine, yoghurt, vanilla, and the egg in another bowl. Stir the wet into the dry until all combined, adding a little extra flour if necessary.

4. Add the chips and cranberries. Drop in heaping teaspoons two inches apart on a greased cookie sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until brown.

Notes

*Makes about 30. I forgot to count before I got into them, but I think it's about 30. With my changes, it works out to about 104.5 calories/cookie.

*Very fluffy and cake-like. I was worried that they weren't good, but then my taste-testers ate about 8 of them between the two of them, so I figure they're okay. Next time maybe I'll use actual butter and just leave out the yoghurt, see if that makes them a little crisper. Also regular oats instead of quick oats.
