These are easy to make! and healthy for you too (small amount of butter & sugar), but still so very sweet and wholesome. The cookies are chewy and go great with any other add-ins (raisins, cranberries, chocolate chips, etc.) Courtesy of FoodNetwork.com

SERVES 10 , 30 cookies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter, room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1/2 cup whole wheat flour (all-purpouse is good too)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups rolled oats (aka oatmeal)
chopped dates (optional) or fig (optional) or raisins (optional) or currant (optional) or chocolate chips (optional) or chopped nuts, etc (optional)

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray (just for convenience :]).
2
Using a mixer with the paddle attachment, mix together the butter, brown sugar, honey, egg and water thoroughly.
3
Sift together the dry ingredients then stir in the oats. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix. Add any additional ingredients you've chosen.
4
Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto the cookie sheet. Bake 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

I added walnuts, shredded apple, cinnamon and extra whole wheat flour. The batter seemed a bit "wet" and I was afraid the shredded apple would make it wetter. I doubt the extra 1/3 cup flour was necessary. It made the cookies cakelike. I will make these again. The flavor is good and I like the fact they are healthy. Next time I will add an extra tablespoon of butter and perhaps just a little extra flour. I really enjoyed this recipe. Plan to put them in my son's lunch.

I have two preschool-aged boys, and this recipe made a perfect rainy afternoon activity! I did make a few (even healthier!) changes: decreased the salt, and used ground flax instead of butter (9 Tbsp flax = 3 Tbsp butter). We added dried cranberries, and I would have no problem giving these to the boys for BREAKFAST!

Wow, what a great little recipe! My brothers gobbled these up. I used a bit less salt, like Coolmom suggested, and I added 1/4 t. cinnamon and 1/2 c. each of raisins and chocolate chips. This recipe doesn't take long to make — it doesn't make very many cookies either, but that's fine, because then there aren't a bunch of leftovers to tempt me. lol. Yummy when eaten warm with a glass of cold milk! They got the Picky Sibling Seal of Approval. I only baked them for 12 minutes and they were done. Next time, I think I'll use 1/3 c. of the chips and raisins (1/2 c. almost seemed like too much). Thanks for a super good and relatively healthy recipe to make for my family!
