I was checking my oatmeal cookie recipes against yours and yours sounds healthier...did you reduce the sugars and butter? Also, would 1 stick of butter be 1/4 cup? Thanks for posting recipes...I love trying new ones!
Hi Camille, I got this one off the web. I think it's one of the quaker oats recipes. I didn't change anything about it. 1 stick of butter would be 1/2 cup. These are really yummy, though after watching a movie on healthy eating last night, I may try to decrease the sugar even more the next time I make them! I might post about that movie if I get the time...
Thanks for answering so quickly...I think I will try them...we love oatmeal cookies around here and this one has less sugar than mine. I have found that reducing sugar does change the final product, but...
In regard to healthy eating, I am on the same page...everything in moderation is my motto. :) Have a wonderful day!
