Low Fat Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Welcome to my first I-didn't-follow-a-recipe recipe! I made these cookies on a whim after being unhappy about how I couldn't find an oatmeal raisin cookie that had less than half a cup of butter. Some experimenting later, and we have my original low fat oatmeal raisin cookies.
