How you choose to feed your kids is your personal choice as a parent. Every parent will feel a certain way about feeding their kids, especially when it comes to "treat" foods. Some parents may never allow their kids to have treats while other parents may have them readily available for consumption daily. And then, of course, there most parents who take an in-between stance on feeding their kids treats, and this is where it gets a bit tricky — there is a big gray area. Should you be offering treat foods once a day? What is defined as a "treat" food?

I love to experiment with recipes to come up with a healthier yet still delicious version of my own. It's taken me a few years to perfect this one and now I'm sharing it with you! I've added as much oatmeal as I could without making them dry, as little sugar as I could without taking the "cookie" taste away, as little butter as possible without making TOO healthy and I've opted for 100% whole wheat flour instead of a mixture of white and whole wheat. Oh, and my son fully approves of this recipe and your kids will love it too!
