These healthy oatmeal goji berry cookies are perfect because I had a hankering for a really great traditional oatmeal cookie, but I wanted to make the healthiest version I could drum up. So – here is the result and I have a feeling that you will love them as much as I as an afternoon treat. You can also pop them in your kid’s lunch boxes (subbing out the goji berries for raisins).
This recipe yields around 14 healthy oatmeal goji berry cookies.
