Very low-cal, low-fat hybrid oatmeal cookie recipe, taken from Baking911.com and (yet again) tweaked to my liking. As usual, I have yet to attempt this in real life, but in theory it seems to work out rather well!

Ingredients

1/2	cup applesauce
1/2	cup sugar
1/2	cup brown sugar
2	egg whites
1 1/2	cups all-purpose flour
2	cups oatmeal
1/2	teaspoon cinnamon
2	teaspoons baking powder
1/2	cup skim milk
1/2	teaspoon vanilla or almond extract

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°.
Use an electric mixer to cream together the applesauce and sugars; add the egg whites one at a time and beat until well blended.
Combine the flour, oatmeal, cinnamon and baking powder in a bowl. Alternating with the milk, add the dry ingredients to the batter by hand, a little a time, stirring to blend. Stir in the vanilla / almond extract.
Drop by teaspoons or tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets and bake until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool for about 2 minutes on the sheets before using a spatula to transfer the cookies to a rack to finish cooling.
