1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened

3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup splenda

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugars on medium speed until creamy.

3. Add eggs and vanilla and beat well.

4. With your mixer set on low speed, slowly beat in the flour mixture (this way you and you're kitchen won't be covered with it!) Then add oats; and mix well.
