I'm telling you- they're really good. And there's no death poison in them :thumbsup2:rotfl2: (Chemicals I mean)
 
While I am sure the listed recipe is very good, others have found that my cookies made without the use of flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, eggs, water even the oil are excellent in taste and I believe healthier. I grind the rolled oats, walnuts, almonds and to those items plus the cinnamon and nutmeg I include freshly ground flax seed, hazel nuts, pecans, all spice and maple syrup instead of molasses. I moisten the mix with the honey and maple syrup so it is very workable, add plenty of raisins and dark chocolate chips bake in a 300 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes and take them out. They harden but remain soft and chewy which is great for me because I eat many of them on my bicycle rides like yesterday's 125 miler.

Using the above items but without grinding the oats and nuts I also make my rolled oat cereal. Using much less honey and syrup to that mixture I include blueberries and sometimes cranberries and sliced bananas. I can eat the cereal throughout the day and enjoy it as a dessert.

O-M-G THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!! That all sounds WONDERFUL! That'll be my next experiment!!! :cool1:

...125 miles is a long way...
 
Thanks OP for the recipe, I made them today and they are very good. Mine made 18 cookies, and I used sparkpeople to calculate that using 1/4 oil & 1/4 lite applesauce they are approx. 113 calories.

ETA- I didn't include nuts in my recipe or calculations.
 
Kashi has a couple of cookies that are not too bad health wise. They have an oatmeal flax, a trail mix, and a dark chocolate. Of course eating a whole box is bad but as a snack they aren't full of the garbage most packaged cookies are.

Thanks for giving my recipe a shot and let me just mention that one can add or delete ingredients to one's tastes.

I compared what I have in the cookies to the Kashi Oatmeal Raisin cookie and if you go here, http://www.kashi.com/products/golean_bars_oatmeal_raisin_cookie and click on view nutritional info, you can see many ingredients that are not needed to make a fresh chewy cookie or if you wanted to you could even form it into a bar.

I had another 125 mile bicycle ride today so I baked a batch of my cookies last night and this time I added some peanut butter to the mixture. Mmmmmmm:thumbsup2
