There's lots of wonderful honey flavor in these little cookies! very moist, almost cake-like. Next time we'll add some almonds for a little crunch perhaps. Thanks for sharing your recipe. :)

Soft and chewy are just the right words to describe these healthy oatmeal cookies. I knew the honey would keep the cookies moist, which it did. Instead of curdling the milk, I just subbed yogurt, and that worked just fine. My raisins were a little hard, so I soaked them in some apple juice and then added them to the batter along with some chopped pecans. I halved the recipe with no trouble, but next time I'll make the whole batch because these are really delicious cookies.
