Healthy, from Scratch, Oatmeal Cookie Recipe
These came out amazing, my dad kept sneaking bites when I was not looking. This is definitely one of the better healthy recipes in the log. If I made these thinner, they would be much crunchier but I chose to make some big chewy cookies for maximum enjoyment
