Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies

Holiday Cookies (no matter the holiday) are a great way to get into the holiday spirit. Cinnamon is a flavor component to many western holiday treats which is why it's found in many holiday dishes. Here is a link to my video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tsCDpBS538

Frank really likes cinnamon and his favorite cookie is cinnamon oatmeal. I wanted him to have this treat during the holiday, however as I was making this cookie his favorite box of cereal arrived from America (thanks mom). Cinnamon Toast Crunch is his favorite sugar-cinnamon filled breakfast treat! However, I make my cookies slightly more healthy than that box of cereal. Actually, the cookies can be made even more healthy than how I made them. Sugar can be subbed with honey, wheat flour with almond flour, etc. By adding nuts and dried fruit you get some more protein and vitamins. However, I stayed true to my man and made him what he liked. Happy Holidays! :)
