Summary

These are as appealing in looks as they are in taste with their cinnamon and oatmeal goodness and half of each cookie dipped in melted chocolate.

What you'll need

• 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. salt (optional)
• 1/2 lb butter or margarine, softened
• 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar substitute
• 2 med eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 3 cup oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
• 1 cup raisins or semisweet chocolate chips (optional)
• 2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (12 ounces) (glaze)
• 3/4 cup chopped nuts (glaze)

Instructions

• Step 1
  Heat oven to 350-degrees. In medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; mix well. In large bowl, beat butter and sugars with electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Add flour mixture; mix well. Stir in oats and, if desired, raisins; mix well. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
• Step 2
  Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool one minute on cookie sheets; remove to wire rack. Cool completely.
• Step 3
  Melt chocolate chips according to package directions. Dip half of one cookie in chocolate; gently shake to remove excess. Sprinkle with chopped nuts. Place on waxed paper until set. Repeat with remaining cookies. If chocolate thickens, microwave at 15-second intervals until fluid. Store cookies with waxed paper between layers in tightly covered container.
