OATMEAL CHOCOLATE COOKIES

After repeated requests by my son, I'm going to show how to bake this healthy cookies using vegetable oil and not overly sweet like other recipes found on net. They are really great to work with and turn out chewy and marvelous, you can's stop eating them, very addictive indeed.

Grind half of the rolled oat and the balance used as it is, next time would try with other combination such as dried cranberries, coconut and fruit. Do not over bake, once it turns light brown, remove from the oven and let the cookies sit in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack.
