Oatmeal and raisin cookies
These cookies are a clear example that we can prepare delicious cookies at home and at the same time take care of ourselves. They have oatmeal and very little flour, and brown sugar instead of white sugar. But best of all, they are delicious. They also have raisins which give it a delicious fruity touch. But if you don't like raisins you can use dried apricots or cranberries.
