When I really NEED a cookie...

Oatmeal Peach and Blueberry Thumbprint Cookies


1 packet Medifast (MF) Peach Oatmeal

1/4 tsp. baking powder

1 TBSP (or less to taste) Torani or Da Vinci Blueberry sugar free flavored syrup

1/8-1/4 tsp each cinnamon and cloves (as desired to taste)

2-3 TBSP water total


Mix Oatmeal package, baking powder, and spices in a small bowl.


Add 1 TBSP syrup and 1 TBSP water. With a fork, begin to work the dry mixture into a dough. Add the additional water as needed to make a firm dough, with all the dry mix incorporated.


Spoon onto baking sheet sprayed with Pam (or use parchment paper or Silpat – my favorite-to prevent sticking). Flattened dough slightly, making a thumbprint in the enter of each cookie.


Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 10 minutes. Makes approximately 5-6 cookies (depending on how large or small your disks are).


Topping


1 TBSP whipped cream cheese

1 tsp(approx) sugar-free blueberry flavored syrup (Da Vinci or Torani)


Mix ingredients thoroughly in a small bowl until you have a soft creamy consistency.

Spoon a dollop into the thumbprint of each cookie while they are still warm.


Note:

This cookie is limited only by your imagination and the flavored syrups you have - any oatmeal variety can be used and many sugar-free syrup flavors are available. Raspberry flavoring is also yummy with the Peach Oatmeal. Caramel syrup with Apple Cinnamon oatmeal is another favorite combination!


As for the whipped cream cheese, I buy it already whipped (don't have time to do it by hand) at almost any grocery store. Upon reading the labels, I have found that percentages of sugar and fat vary from brand to brand. I like the whipped Philadelphia best of the brands that I investigated.

Enjoy!
