Recipe Ingredients:
Cookies:
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) 70% vegetable oil spread
1 cup LIBBY'S® 100% Pure Pumpkin
2 large egg whites or 1 large egg
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
2 cups Quaker® Oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup pitted prunes, finely chopped

Cooking Directions:
- For Cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly spray baking sheets with cooking spray.
- Beat sugar and vegetable oil spread in large bowl with electric mixer until well blended. Add pumpkin, egg whites and orange peel; beat well. (Mixture will look curdled.) Add combined oats, flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt; mix well. Stir in prunes and walnuts. Drop dough by rounded measuring tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart on baking sheets.
