RECIPE BY Cooking Light

Chocolate chips or cranberries might seem like the best part about these cookies, but it's really that each cookie is 75 calories.

How to Make It

Step 1

Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, oats, baking powder, and the next 5 ingredients (through chips) in a large bowl.

Step 2

Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add honey, vanilla, egg, and egg white; beat well. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture; beat at low speed until well blended. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 350°.

Step 4

Drop batter by tablespoonfuls onto a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes. Cool 2 minutes on pans. Remove from pans, and cool completely on wire racks.

Chef's Notes

This cookie dough--with regular oats in the batter--needs to be chilled for several hours or overnight before baking.

This is my new go-to cookie recipe. My husband loves them because they aren't overly sweet and they are somewhat healthy. I freeze my leftovers then just pull out one or two at a time; they are great frozen.

Ratings suprise me, my family loved them. I didn't refrigerate as long as it said. I mixed them up in the afternoon and put it in fridge till after dinner. While cleaning up dishes I baked the cookies and we had them with coffee that evening while still a little warm. Not sure how they tasted the next day because the grandkids came in and finished them off.
