Oatmeal Cookies

These are REALLY good!

You have to trust me on this one. 

Anything with oatmeal is beyond fantastic. I think oatmeal should have its own section on the food pyramid. It's certainly a staple in my diet. I eat it basically everyday. I'm also a huge advocate and promoter of oatmeal with flax. I now never eat oatmeal without flax. 

These are also conveniently gluten and refined sugar free. I also made one batch without eggs and one with just to see the difference. It was a close call, but I think I'll have to go with the eggless one (mom thought so too) :)
