Ah, January.  The time of year for snuggly fires and resolutions and planning beach vacations where your toes won’t freeze.  I always set a fitness resolution or two for the New Year and give it a few weeks to marinate.  Historically, the results from this approach have been a bit lackluster.  Throw in the fact that I’m headed to Hawaii next week and I’m thinking I need to jump on the fitness train with a little more vigor.

That’s why I’m thrilled to be partnering with Truvia (low cal baking sweetener!) and Bigelow Tea (tea!  TEA!  Need I say more?) to come up with a yummy, easy cookie to brighten up my mornings with a little sweetness.  I LOVE baked goods with my tea and decided that this Crispy-Chewy Nutmeg Oatmeal Lacy, with it’s low carb flair (75% less calories than sugar!) and spicy flavors would go perfectly with a big mug of Earl Gray.

You might be wondering what I mean by “Crispy-Chewy.”  Well, what we’ve got here is a cookie with crisp edges and a soft, chewy center.   Look at the bend in the center!

 And once you break it open, the chewiness in the center extends to a crisp edge.

 I adjusted the original recipe to allow for a couple modifications.  First, the batch needed to be smaller.  Then I needed to incorporate the nutmeg.  Lastly, I needed to add some Truvia Baking Blend.

 A few quick words on Truvia, in case you’re not familiar.  Truvia is natural, made from the leaves of the stevia plant.  You can buy Truvia in a no-calorie version, but I chose to use this blend because it bakes and crisps just like sugar- absolutely essential for this cookie.  Plus it’s tastes great and is gluten free.  (BONUS!  If you ensure that you’re using gluten free quick cooking oats?  This RECIPE is gluten free!)
