Eggless Oatmeal Cookies|Healthy Cookies

     Egg less oatmeal cookies is a light sugary ,crunchy, healthy cookie with wheat flour.Because of the addition of butter its on high calorie end.You can use eggs instead of milk.You can skip the milk and use water too.Its a healthy cookies because there is a lot of oats in here ,i used wheat flour instead of regular flour to bind the oats.
    Cookies are every body's favourite especially here in US ,even grown kids(adults) love it. This Oatmeal cookie has more cinnamon which makes a heavenly aroma while baking  and gives a nice touch of flavour while eating. For this holiday season this is the best recipe to bake for your kids and for yourself.

     To understand the difference between baking soda and baking powder use this link. The recipe ask for baking soda but I had only baking powder so  used the above link to substitute 1 tsp of baking soda with 2 tsp of baking powder.
    Recently i did this Oatmeal cookies to gift our neighbours they are vegetarians so i tried egg less version and got a chance to picture these Healthy oatmeal cookies again.
