| 1/2 | Margarine |

| 1 1/2 | Sweet’N Low brown sugar substitute |
| 1/2 | Egg |
| 1 | Vanilla |
| 1 | All-purpose flour |

Instructions:

Cream Margarine and Sugar:
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together the margarine and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. -
Add Sweeteners and Flavorings:
To the creamed mixture, add the Sweet’N Low brown sugar substitute, egg, and vanilla. Mix at medium speed for about 30 seconds until well combined. Don’t forget to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing. -
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, oat bran, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well blended. -
Incorporate Raisins and Water:
Add the dry ingredients mixture to the creamed mixture, along with the raisins and water. Mix at medium speed until everything is thoroughly combined, creating a cohesive dough. -
Form Cookie Dough:
Prepare your baking sheets by spraying them with non-stick pan spray or lining them with aluminum foil. Using a tablespoon, drop dollops of the cookie dough onto the prepared sheets, ensuring they are evenly spaced. -
Shape Cookies:
Dip your fingers in cold water to prevent sticking, then gently press down on each ball of dough to flatten it into a round cookie shape, about 2 1/2 inches across. -
Bake to Perfection:
Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies are lightly browned. -
Cool and Serve:
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to wire racks to cool completely to room temperature. Serve and enjoy!
Additional Tips:
- For those watching their sodium intake, you can omit the salt or use a low-sodium alternative.
- To make these cookies suitable for low-sodium diets, use salt-free margarine and low-sodium baking powder.
- For those following low-cholesterol diets, you can omit the eggs and use 1/2 cup of egg whites instead.
