What is the nutritional value for these cookies?
I calculated it but it definitely depends on brands you use and the amount you use but for this recipe it came out to 95 calories per cookie for me calculating it on my own.
I just made these oatmeal cookies. They are wonderful. I ate four already and I’m not done baking the second tray yet. Usually healthy recipes taste healthy. These taste great. I’ll be making these often. Oatmeal cookies are my favorite.
Hi Amanda,

Hi,
Can I substitute for gluten free oat and flour?
Hi Angela,
I have not tried that and so I’m not really sure. Let me know how it turns out if you try it.
