HONEY OATMEAL COOKIES

October 31, 2013

They’re crisp on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, and they’re pretty darn near being healthy! Well, they were in a diabetes-friendly cookbook, so that says something! Just felt like whipping up a batch of biccies, but didn’t want to bring on a sugar coma, so these fit the bill nicely. I liked the addition of cinnamon, though next time I might substitute ginger which I think would work really nicely with the honey and oats. I might also throw in a handful of sesame seeds which will make the cookies even healthier. Thanks to New Zealand’s Healthy Food Guide cookbook ‘101 diabetes-friendly recipes’ for this recipe.
