Big Low Fat Oatmeal Cookies

Submitted by abbydabby

"I found a lowfat oatmeal cookie recipe on foodfit.com and made some changes - added eggbeaters and light butter, rather than real eggs and full-fat butter - to make them even lower in fat/cholesterol. Don't overcook them - they will dry out. Add raisins or chocolate chips - both very yummy in these cookies. ENJOY!!!"
