OATMEAL COOKIES (WITHOUT THE SUGAR)
They are not as sweet as most oatmeal cookies I've had, which is a good thing. We could not stop eating them; especially my preschooler. They are excellent "nutritional supplements!" There is no sugar in this recipe however if you prefer sugar to honey--then simply alter the recipe....cut the baking soda to 1/4 tsp. and add an extra tablespoon of water. Your baking temperature should go to 350 if you are using sugar. When replacing sugar with honey you have to increase the baking soda to increase the acid and you reduce liquid by 1 Tablespoon. Also, with honey baking--lower the baking temp.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together.
- In a medium bowl, mix all the wet ingredients together. Hint: when measuring out the honey, spray the measuring cup with oil or baking spray--your honey won't stick).
- Mix the wet stuff with the dry stuff. Add the raisins and walnuts and mix. If the mixture seems too wet, add a bit of flour. If it isn't binding together very well, you may wish to add an egg white.
- COOL the mix for 20 minutes in the fridge.
- Preheat the oven to 335 degrees (lower temperature due to the honey in the recipe which will burn more easily).
- Drop by teaspoonfuls onto your baking sheet (I recommend lining the baking sheet with parchment paper). Press down with a fork to ensure even cooking.
- Bake for about 15 - 20 minutes or until golden on the bottom of the cookie. The cookies freeze very well and make a great snack! Enjoy.

I modified this recipe and have come up with a cookie recipe that I have made once a week now for 6 months. If the cookie jar gets empty, it is a tragedy around our home. This is a very crispy cookie and reminds me of the granola bar. It's really great, give it a try. Don't deviate from the ingredients, however you may add raisins if desired.

SUGAR-FREE OATMEAL COOKIES
Fast easy oatmeal cookies for the dieter or diabetic in the family. You can add raisins or craisins. This recipe came from a friend and then I changed it to add the splenda instead of sugar. For the oatmeal, I personally used the 3-minute type. I like the cookies because I love cookies and since I am now diabetic I can't have any so of course I think these are great!

Tips:

This will help them to blend into the cookie dough more easily and will give the cookies a more uniform texture. - **Add a little bit of salt**: Salt helps to balance out the sweetness of the bananas and other ingredients. - **Don't overmix the cookie dough**: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. - **Chill the cookie dough**: Chilling the cookie dough will help the cookies to hold their shape better when baking. - **Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature**: Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. - **Let the cookies cool completely**: Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.Conclusion:
These oatmeal cookies without sugar are a delicious and healthy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are also a great way to use up ripe bananas.
