Weight Watchers has changed their program. The points listed on my blog for WW points is for the old Momentum program.

I will be updating my recipes for the new Points Plus program. I am going to list the 4 nutrients needed to calculate the Points Plus for the recipe so that you can easily figure the PP per serving.

I am going to leave the old Momentum Points in case anybody is still following that program.

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Beat in water and vanilla.

Combine the oats, flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture.  Stir in raisins, chocolate chips, walnuts and coconut.
