Oatmeal Walnut Raisin Cookies for Dad (Low-Fat, Low-Sugar, for Diabetics)


My father's birthday was a few months ago and while he generally doesn't like gifts, I did get on the phone with him and asked what type of cookies he would like. He shocked the both of us by stating he wanted oatmeal raisin cookies with walnuts inside. These were the perfect cookies for him, but I was a bit nervous as I'm not very experienced with these types. They may not look fantastic in the photo, but he was absolutely ecstatic to see them. The recipe makes about 11-12 cookies. Since he is a diabetic I had a lower sugar content and also gave him only half of the batch.


What's your favorite type of cookie?
