Here is how you make Healthy Oatmeal Cookies:

Variation: Add grated carrots, apples, or any seeds (I've been throwing in some wheat germ), especially poppy seeds. Cut-up dried fruits may also be added. Anything goes!!! I screwed up last week and added an extra cup of flour, so to moisten I added about 1/2 cup strawberry juice (from cut-up strawberries in fridge) and about 1/2 cup of french vanilla yogurt, cookies came out fantastically!!! This recipe is really versatile.Cream shortening, honey, eggs, and vanilla together. I will add orange zest, nutmeg and cinnamon at this pointAdd salt, flour, baking powder, mix Well. Add nuts, raisins, dried fruit, choco chips and coconut and mix thoroughly. Add oatmeal last, if recipe looks dry I'll add less oatmeal or grate a whole apple in for moisture.Drop onto greased cookie sheet.
