Healthy Oatmeal Cookies

These remind me of the fall time because of the great spices in them. They are pretty healthy too, no butter (well....healthier). Use canola oil so you don't have any trans or saturated fats. They are a 'puffy' cookie similar to pumpkin cookies, so don't be surprised when they don't flatten out like traditional oatmeal cookies.

In a large bowl mix:
1 box brown sugar
4 eggs
1 3/4 cup oil
1 cup milk
1 tsp salt
2 tsp nutmeg
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla

In another bowl, mix dry ingredients:
1 1/2 cup nuts
2 cup raisins
1 package chocolate chips
4 cups quick oats
4 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda

Mix wet and dry ingredients together. Lightly grease cookie sheet, and drop by tablespoons. Bake @ 400 until firm or lightly browned.

*this recipe makes 10 dozen*** (since the cookies are 'healthy' you can eat 1 dozen yourself =)
