Cranberry Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookie (single serving!)

I woke up today wanting oatmeal cookies. Then when I was walking through the grocery store and saw dried cranberries, I knew I needed to figure out a single serving cookie recipe fast for Cranberry Oatmeal cookies.
 Let me just warn you first. This recipe doesn't call for any butter or brown sugar or anything high in calories whatsoever, but it tastes just like a real oatmeal cookie. Maybe even better.

Okay, actually. A Cranberry Pumpkin Oatmeal cookie.

I use a lot of pumpkin in my baking because it's healthy, bakes really well as a substitute, and comes out really well as a flavor but only if you want it to. Anyways, back to oatmeal.. I have fulfilled yet another craving perfectly.
As well as another single serving recipe. This recipe makes just one (surprisingly large) cookie, but can easily be doubled or tripled to make a few multiple cookies, which I did, to share with my family.
Ingredients:

Dry
1+1/2 tbsp flour
1 heaping tbsp splenda
1/8 tsp ginger
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp baking powder
pinch baking soda
pinch salt

Wet
1 tsp unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp canned pumpkin
1 tsp egg beaters/egg whites
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp sugar free maple syrup

& Then
Craisins or dried cranberries (I used 3g of reduced sugar Craisins)
1/2 tbsp oats

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix the first list of dry ingredients together and set aside. Set up another bowl and mix the wet ingredients together until dough is formed. Then stir in oats and craisins. Drop dough onto a nonstick sprayed baking sheet. Bake for about 12 minutes or until cookie(s) are lightly brown and firm. Let cool for a few minutes before eating.
