Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

By Emma Henzes at Syracuse University

This Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe has been modified and essentially created by my wonderful mother who absolutely loves cookies.

She created a healthy oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe that she doesn't have to feel bad about eating. She even considers them as a healthy snack, because, hey, who eats plain oatmeal?

There's always a little sugar thrown in there and dark semi-sweet chocolate chips are good for you (all those antioxidants). So what's not to love about these cookies?
