Well cookies can't be healthy as they have oil and butter in it but they can be better then shop made cookies as you say above your making them with oatmeal and apples anyways... 1. take some wheat flour. 2. Put oat meal, eggs, pinch salt, brown sugar according to taste and 2 to 3 table spoons of olive oil(olive oil is good for health) in it. 3. make a dough by adding milk in it. 4. Put the dough in refrigerator bowl covered with foil for about 30 mins. 5. heat the oven on 300 degrees and spread olive oil in a baking tray before putting cookies in it. 6. bake it for 40 mins flip the sides in 20 mins. YOUR COOKIES R READY ENJOY!!!
