Really Good Low-fat Raisin Oatmeal Cookies

Found this on the Sunmaid website as I was looking for a healthier version of cookies. These are awesome! Low sodium, low fat, and low cholesterol.

Prep time: about 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10-12 minutes

Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup fat free vanilla or plain yogurt
2 tablespoons canola or corn oil
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/3 cups uncooked old fashioned or quick-cooking rolled oats
1 cup raisins

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Cover 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt together in small bowl.

Combine brown sugar, yogurt, oil and egg and vanilla in large bowl. Add flour mixture to make blended dough.

Stir in oats and raisins. Drop mixture by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until very lightly browned. Do not overbake.Slide cookies on the parchment paper onto the countertop to cool.
