The recipe I found said Healthy Honey Oatmeal Cookies and while the recipe uses whole wheat flour and more oatmeal than anything else. I have become a bit of a skeptic and here is my reasoning. There are SO many diet trends out there, healthy in a recipe all depends on what you are counting. Calories, Carbs, Fat, Protein or whatever else you might be watching.

You can also tweak a recipe results just by the portion size. Say you make a recipe that tells you it make 30 cookies but when you go to make them your lucky to get 15 maybe 20 out of it and I am not saying you make yours gigantic just a regular 1 inch ball sized cookie. Is that too much to ask for a regular size cookie. I use the same small ice cream scoop for pretty much everything I make that needs to be in a ball.  I literally just used my scoop to make Arancini aka fried risotto balls.
The point I am trying to make is don’t get hung up on the title of a recipe, I feel confident if you are following a food blog, you already have an idea what works for you. So you do you and be happy!
I do have a little funny to share. I have made this recipe a few times now and I realized that the first time I made them I forgot to add 1 tablespoon of water. I totally understand that baking is based on science – I get it!  So I had to laugh at myself that the next time I made them I added 1 little ole tablespoon of water and my cookies ended up spreading out more on the flat side than the chunky ones I had before.  It didn’t change the taste just the look and I for a split second was baffled, well maybe that’s a strong word it was more like hmmm? Yes Donna the water will react with the butter and even the egg to make a flatter cookie.
I hope you try these or some form of them, use your own imagination add nuts, currants, dates, chocolate chips, raisins. Replace the sugar with another sweetener, use an egg beater instead. Replace the butter with apple sauce.
