oatmeal cookies

We have occupied ourselves baking batch after batch of oatmeal cookies lately. I have found our sugar-free version to be a healthy snack for Ava and she has fallen in love with the idea of baking cookies. Each time we bake them she has to be the one to mix the ingredients in the bowl and doesn't agree when I offer assistance. I imagine she feels like a big helper and is also proud of the fact that she can do it all by herself.

The end result is also a payoff for her as she sees the cookies as a treat and I see them as a healthy helping of her daily grains. I've substituted all of the sugar in the ingredients with Splenda Granulated Sugar and Splenda Brown Sugar. The cookies taste fabulous and I know she won't be feeling the sugar rush later.
