Honey Whole Wheat Oatmeal Cookies

These cookies use honey instead of white granulated sugar. Also, 100% whole wheat flour used instead of all purpose flour. Tempature is lowered on purpose beacause honey burns at higher tempatures. This is suppose to be a healthier alternative to cookies made with white sugar.
