Ingredients
1/2 cup stick butter, softened
3/4 cup Equal® Sugar Lite™
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups uncooked quick or old-fashioned oats
3/4 cup golden raisins* (see note)


Note:
*May substitute dried tart cherries or blueberries for the raisins.

Instructions:
Beat butter and Equal® Sugar Lite™ until well combined. Beat in egg and vanilla until blended. Mix in combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt until blended. Stir in oats and raisins just until combined. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place on ungreased baking sheets about 2-inches apart. Flatten slightly with fingers.

Cooking Tip
When using Equal no-calorie sweetener, use recipes designed for Equal or maintain sweetness by adding Equal after removing the dish from heat. Prolonged cooking at high heat levels may result in some loss of sweetness.
