I got this recipe from www.skinntaste.com I've actually altered the recipe just a bit.
Low Fat Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes Servings: 15 • Serving Size: 2 cookies • Old Points: 4 pts • Points+: 5 pts Calories: 190 • Fat: 6.3 g • Protein: 2.6 g • Carb: 34.2 g • Fiber: 2.0 g • Sugar: 19.3 g
* 1 cup all purpose flour * 1 tsp baking powder * 1/2 tsp baking soda * 1/2 tsp salt * 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon * 2 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature (I used applesauce instead and it worked well or use soy butter or oil could work) * 1/2 cup sugar * 1/2 cup unpacked brown sugar * 1 large egg (1/4 cup eggbeaters egg white substitute) * 1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce * 1/2 tsp vanilla extract * 2 cups quick oats * 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips (I omitted but you could use dairy free or carob chips)
Preheat oven to 350°; line two baking sheets with parchment paper or use a silpat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
In a large bowl, with a mixer, cream together the butter and the sugars on medium speed.
Add the egg, followed by the applesauce and vanilla extract.
Working by hand, stir in the flour mixture and the oats until just combined and no streaks of flour remain; stir in the chocolate chips.
Drop heaping tablespoonfuls (approx 3 tbsp each) of the dough onto prepared baking sheets, flattening each cookie slightly (I forgot to do this). Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until cookies become light brown at the edges.
Let cool on baking sheet for 3 or 4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container so you don't eat them all in one sitting!
Makes about 30 cookies roughly 3 tbsp each.
With the way I made these substituting applesauce for the butter and leaving out the chocolate chips they were pretty much fat free.
Enjoy

If you read the original post completely, you'll see that substitutions were made to reduce the fat level of the recipe. You're going to scare newbies off from making these recipes...

Fen is correct when you use the substitutions it makes these a lot lower in fat and safe to eat. I've eaten quite a few of these in the last couple days and have not had any problems what so ever.
