Low-Fat Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies with Fruity Olive Oil

Low-fat Oatmeal Cookies Feature

When we were looking for a cookie recipe that was low in fat we went straight to one of our favorite cookbooks off the shelf; 1000 Low-Fat Recipes by Terry Blonder Golson. After skimming the list of ingredients we thought weā€™d go even further by substituting the vegetable oil with heart-healthy olive oil infused (or fused) with fruit. Some low-fat recipes sacrifice flavor and texture so, of course, we had to try it out before recommending it. The results are inā€¦these are delicious!Ā  Enjoy them straight from the oven or store them in a container for soft and chewy oatmeal cookies. The kids even loved them and, to be honest, they didnā€™t really care that they were heart-healthy or low-fat!
