Mmmmm cookies!! 🙂 It has been dark and dreary all day today and were expecting some nasty rainfall later, it just seemed like the perfect day to bake some cookies. These oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are delicious, with a nice soft center and they go perfect with a glass of milk. 3 smart points per cookie.

Do you think these made with a ripe banana instead of applesauce would be tasty?
Yes, the banana should work, they might have a slight different texture..
I’m going to put sweetener in it. I don’t know how sugar can be part of a healthy cookie?
You do what works for you.. but I personally would rather have a little real sugar than artificial sweetener 😉
I made these and cut the white and brown sugar in half. They are awesome!!! So glad I tried them. Thank you Drizzle Me Skinny!!! You’re a life saver for someone on WW with a sweet tooth!!!
Hi Angie, so glad you enjoyed them and thanks for the tip 🙂 and your sweet words!
I made these today and I really like them. I made three changes. I used 2 T of low fat butter instead of margarine. I added 1/4 C of dark chocolate chips instead of the mini ones. And I used cinnamon instead of nutmeg. This are wonderful. I really like them. I used a small scoop which said it was a tablespoon and I wound up with 40 cookies. Thanks for posting. Will definitely make again.
HI Jane, so glad you enjoyed them and thanks for sharing your tips 🙂
