These cookies can be varied and pack a lot of nutrition - the perfect snack food. Kids like them, especially with chocolate chips (not only kids ...). The high ratio of oatmeal to flour bumps up their glycemic index, and of course you can reinforce this by substituting whole wheat flour and adding nuts and dried fruits. Sometimes I add allspice, cloves and/or ginger to vary the flavor, or add cocoa to the flour (and slightly increase the juice). The original recipe came from a Quaker's oatmeal tub.
