Oatmeal Cookies
Oh, that sweet smell of soft, warm oatmeal cookies baking on a relaxed, fall afternoon. Or, maybe you would sooner dunk a crunchy one in a cold glass of milk on those hot summer days.
Whichever your preference, you may wonder if that cookie you’re devouring is junk. After all, oatmeal is known to lower cholesterol, right? If you must eat a cookie, an oatmeal one is the best bet for being more healthy. Whole grain oats contain a lot of fiber and minerals like calcium and iron.
When you add dried fruit or nuts, the vitamin, fiber, and protein counts go up even more. It’s even better if your cookies have raisins. They are a naturally good source of phytochemicals that can enhance your immune system.
