These Oatmeal Cookies are somewhat healthy and super delicious. Knowing that they are made with oatmeal makes me feel less guilty while my kids are eating them. I love to throw together a batch of easy cookie dough to make some yummy snacks for the boys.
Cookies? Anytime in my house! We went to my friend’s house a few months ago, and she had these fantastic oatmeal cookies out for us to try. I quickly asked her for the recipe and here we go. I make these cookies ever since when we are craving for something good. I bet these oatmeal cookies are gonna be your kids favorites.
The original recipe calls for 1 cup brown and 1 cup white sugar, but I used only 1 cup brown total and it is sweet enough. Even too sweet for us. You can add more sugar depending of your taste.
