Low Fat Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
by Michelle Jones

These low-fat pumpkin cookies are great for the fall holidays and will make a healthy after-school snack for the kids too. Try them for yourself, you won't believe how good they are until you do!

Ingredients:

1 c. pumpkin
2 egg whites, whipped
1 c. brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cloves
3 c. rolled oats
1 c. raisins


Directions:

* Spray baking sheet with cooking spray.
* In a large bowl combine pumpkin and egg whites.
* In a separate bowl combine sugar, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, oats, and raisins.
* Batter will be very dry at first, mix ingredients together just until moistened.
* Drop cookies by tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet, 2" apart. You can leave the 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.
