Hello lovelies!
In an effort to adopt a healthier whole foods diet, I have been eating whole oat oatmeal for breakfast.
Over the weekend, I decided to try out the vanishing Oatmeal Cookie recipe on my oatmeal box.
My family LOVES cookies and I thought this would be a great way to have a "healthy treat"!
This is the recipe I used and I they turned out perfect!
