These cookies are a great way to get your kids to eat their fruit. My kids love the taste of the cookies and they don't even realize that they're eating healthy ingredients.

I love that these cookies are made with whole wheat flour. It gives them a nice nutty flavor and makes them more nutritious. I also like that the recipe doesn't call for a lot of sugar. The cookies are still sweet, but they're not too sweet.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover oatmeal. I always have a container of cooked oatmeal in my fridge, so it's easy to whip up a batch of these cookies whenever I'm in the mood for something sweet.

These cookies are a great way to sneak some veggies into your kids' diet. I added a cup of grated carrots to the dough and they didn't even notice. The cookies were still delicious and my kids loved them.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used sunflower seeds instead of walnuts. The cookies were still delicious. I also used a gluten-free flour blend and the cookies turned out great.

These cookies are perfect for a quick and easy snack. I like to make a batch on the weekend and then keep them in the freezer. When I'm craving something sweet, I just pop a few cookies in the microwave for a few seconds.

I'm not a big fan of raisins, so I used dried cranberries instead. The cookies were still delicious. I also added a little bit of cinnamon to the dough. It gave the cookies a nice warm flavor.

These cookies are a great way to use up ripe bananas. I always have bananas that are about to go bad, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses them up. The cookies are also a great way to get my kids to eat fruit.
