Healthier Oatmeal and Raisin Cookies
I think Cookie Monster said it best: 'Today me will live in the moment, unless it's unpleasant, in which case, me will eat a cookie.' This recipe is perfect for the vegan looking for a healthy, plant based cookie, that even our friend Cookie Monster would enjoy. Mildly spiced, lightly sweetened and crunchy, my Healthier Oatmeal and Raisin Cookies are a great option for last minute guests or a morning tea treat.
