This recipe is amazing! I never thought an oatmeal cookie could taste this good. I'm doing Science Olympiad, and seeing as how we are so limited with ingredients, we have to find a really good cookie within the parameters. This cookie is delicious, yet healthy. Try this, it tastes a lot better than it looks.
