To be honest, generally cookies aren’t "healthy" for you in the grand scheme of things.  HOWEVER, if you’re going to make a cookie, I highly recommend the following cookies because they are simply amazing!!!

When we had our carpet-ripping party on Saturday (check out the before pic on that link, and then the after pics with some updates on this link!!)  I served up a plate of these cookies and people devoured them!  They are SO delicious.  Chewy but soft, and full of flavour.  :)  They’re sure to be a crowd pleaser!

I originally found this recipe because I wanted to make cookies that didn’t involve sugar as I was out of it.  So I researched cookies involving maple syrup as the main sweetener!  And I am SO glad that I did, or else I may not have discovered these delectable treats. 

And now, while you read this recipe, I’m off to make some more…

Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip and Raisin Cookies

Changes I made: I didn’t use canola oil.  Instead I used melted butter one time and olive oil another time.  Both worked well!  Also, when I put the cookies on the baking sheet I used a fork to press them down a bit as they don’t spread when they cook. 

ENJOY!

P.S. This Thursday is my Blogiversary, so come back on Thursday for something fun!  :)
