SPICED OATMEAL COOKIES

My favourite cookies are oatmeal cookies. I always make them with dates or raisins. This time I tried a few different things. I swapped out the butter for oat margarine which worked really well, it enhanced the oat flavour. I then added warming spices like cinnamon and nutmeg instead of nuts and dried fruit. I also added sprouted flax which is super nutritious and really went well with the oats. It made this a healthier cookie.
