For a healthy cookie this tastes pretty good! However, I did make some changes based on other reviews. Like another reviewer, I added a handful of raisins, 1/4 tsp. cinnamon, 2 Tbl. brown sugar, 2 Tbl. powdered milk, and used oat bran instead of wheat bran. Without these additions I'm sure these cookies would taste less appealing, as they are pretty chocked full of wheat and fiber. I think for a quick, easy, fulfilling breakfast these are great! They are also easy to grab on your way out the door. I'm making a double batch next time! -
right away when you taste this cookie you know you are eating something healthy. looking at it however is another story. it looks disgusting! and making the recipe as written is a little bland in the taste category, i like scarysheree's additions of cinnamon and ginger.

Yummy! I used brown sugar splenda, oat bran, raisins, and added 1/4 each cinnamon and ginger, and 1 tbsp dry milk powder. They're wonderful!

I am kinda hard to describe, lol. I am a 17 year old metalhead who just got my own apartment in the summer. I was kinda thrown out into the middle of life here so I am pretty much learning to run a house, graduate, and parent myself at the same time; thus, the searching for recipes part.
I'm not like most teens and I know that flailing and headbanging alone isn't going to make me healthy (unfortunately it seems to work for my boyfriend, lol), so I like to cook healthy. In fact finding and turning unhealthy recipes into healthy recipes has become kind of a game for me; so that's why I'm posting the ones that work, so you can try them too.
I have a couple odd preferences; I am somewhat allergic to aspartame, and I refuse to drink cow milk because I hate the taste. I also think eggnog is weird and that a drink that tastes like bananas isn't very Christmassy.
I am half German and half Polish and thus want to start cooking with a little cultural influence, that will probably start to happen once I figure out how to cook a bit better. :]
Till then, I will try to keep posting what I do have success on.
