SO GOOD (FOR YOU) OATMEAL COOKIES!
Due to making a deal with my sister to not have any SUGAR, I was forced to recreate some of our favorite treats, using natural alternatives! I'm happy to say...I like these better than the REAL DEAL! They are packed full of "good stuff", so you can eat them, guilt free (for the most part). In fact, my kids say that it's just too hard to only eat one! :0) They come out moist and chewy. You could, also, easily turn these into a great oatmeal chocolate chip cookie! So, have fun experimenting, and let me know what you think!

Tips:
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats: These oats provide a chewy texture and nutty flavor to the cookies.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature: This will help the cookies develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will help the cookies set and develop their full flavor.
