Here's another recipe that I got from Bake Happy Manila to change my usual salted chocolate chip cookies. Surprise though that it doesn't require a lot of oatmeal, so I increased the amount to almost a cup. For the taste, I wouldn't lie: the first to two bites are like "meh, I'm not liking this" but as I and my family consume more the cookie tasted better and better and by the last bite we are happy, contented and full (though our hands wanted to grab for another).
The original recipe is for a coco one instead of oatmeal and it calls for a walnut not almond but hey, almonds are way cheaper and I made these cookies when I was on a very tight budget and don't know where to get my fundings for my bake goods.
