Oatmeal and Date cookies

Oatmeal is one of my favorite ingredients, chewy, a bit earthy ^^, and yes, it's packed with fibre and mineral too.

There are many kinds of oat in the market, but I love to use rolled oat as it will stay chewy when I put it in cookies or any kind of baked good. This time I made oatmeal cookie, that has a load of oat, but it will be too boring if you have only oat in the cookie, right? So, a bit of dried date is mixed in to give you a feeling of surprise, as the dried date is very sweet, imagine how happy you will be when you bite into it!. But beside from the natural sweetness, date is rich in potassium and other mineral too, ^^.
I will have a special class using Non-hydrogenated rice barn oil shortening at 22 of  this month, if you interest you can joy by posting the photo of baked good that made with Non-hydrogenated rice barn oil shortening with a Non-hydrogenated rice barn oil shortening on the comment of this post "Healthy family, happy me" on facebook.
