INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

1/2 cup strawberry yogurt fruit spread
1/2 cup margarine, softened
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup olive oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 1/4 cups rolled oats

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
In a large bowl, cream together the strawberry spread, margarine, white sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla, then stir in the olive oil. Combine the flour, baking soda and cinnamon; stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in the oats until well blended. Drop dough by heaping spoonfuls 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the tops are lightly browned. Let cookies stand for 1 minute on the baking sheet before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

Hmmm... not sure what to rate this. *The batter was definately 5 stars (we couldn't stop snacking on it!)* but the overall taste seemed to be missing something. It was sweet, slightly cinnamon-y, but there was no discernable yogurt/fruit flavor that I could tell. I did change some things ... I didn't have the yogurt spread that it called for, so I used 1/2 c. cherry low-fat yogurt and 1/4 c berry jam. I used 1 c. brown sugar and 1/2 c white (although I thought it too sweet - next time I may cut out half the sugar and let the fruit do the sweetening). Instead of 1/2 c olive oil I used 1/4 c canola oil and 1/4 c unsweetened applesauce. I upped the cinnamon to 1 heaping tsp and added 1/4+ tsp nutmeg. ** Mixing the yogurt and jam with the butter and sugar all at once didn't work too well... you should cream the butter and sugar first, then add in the yogurt and jam when you add in the other wet ingredients.** I baked for the full 15 min. but then my oven runs a little cool. Cookies spread quite a bit, but the texture was Great; nice and chewy in the center yet crispy around the edges. This recipe is definately worth tinkering with to resolve what seems to be missing! That's why I rated it 5 stars even though I was a little disappointed with the bland-ish results...
