Oatmeal Cookies

These Oatmeal Cookies are big and chewy, super easy to make and they’re good for you. Add chocolate chips, raisins, or nuts and watch them disappear!

Oatmeal cookies are one of my favorites. It’s hard to beat these cookies when they come fresh out of the oven, not only is the smell amazing, but a warm cookie loaded with oats, raisins and chocolate really warms the cockles of my heart. 

Oatmeal cookies are a classic cookie that most of us have been enjoying since we were kids. As far as I’m concerned these are a healthy food item.

That’s right! With 3 cups of oats in them, they can’t be anything else but good. And you know what else? Oatmeal is the only proven food that helps reduce cholesterol. So beat that!

Oatmeal cookies are best when they’re soft and chewy, just like this oatmeal cookie recipe I’m sharing with you. While I love them plain, I really think it’s important to add plump raisins, some chocolate chips and nuts to them. I love the added sweetness from the raisins.

And don’t get me started on chocolate! Chocolate is made from plants and you know what that means, it means it has many of the health benefits that dark vegetables do.

See I can rationalize everything! These cookies are healthy, so eat and enjoy them and think of all the benefits you’re gaining from them.
