Chewy Oatmeal Cookies Recipe

April 4, 2017

Nana was not able to have a lot of sugar (it made her quite ill) and she always looked for recipes she could modify to use with her sugar substitutes like equal, or no sugar syrup. These oatmeal cookies are not truly ‘No Sugar’ but they were something she could have 1 of and enjoy occasionally and she kept this type of recipe in a section of “no sugar” recipes; so she would be able to find them and bake them for herself occasionally. If you are looking to cut out some sugar she made these cookies by substituting an equal amount of white and brown equal and no sugar syrup. These cookies freeze well and she would take them out a few at a time for herself.
