What cookies can I make with oatmeal.... but NO butter?!

>Now you are really messing with things young lady! Oatmeal cookies are my favorite and the last thing I want to see is somebody making them taste bad. LOL! I am joking...no, I really do love oatmeal cookies and I am very VERY particular about them. I do not like the raisin kind, no raisins please. I want lots of walnuts in mine. I like mine very sweet and a little browned on the edges, so that when they firm up after baking, they are sort of crunchy and the brown sugar dissolves in the mouth with a crunch-dissolve. To be truthful, my wife, over the years, has tried many MANY MANY recipes to make oatmeal cookies that I like...including trying to get rid of the butter because of the fat content...but the fact is, after many years of trying to substitute things like Crisco, etc etc etc...nothing works like butter. Oatmeal cookies are very bland and dry and tasteless, even with lots of cinnamon and nutmeg in them, if there is no butter in them. I just want to warn you because I am an oatmeal cookie EXPERT...connoisseur...I love oatmeal cookies so much, I could be a county fair judge! But like I said, there is no substitution for butter in oatmeal cookes unless you like, dry, bland, tasteless and hard to eat cookies.

I want to try Macadamia nuts next! Yum!

im not sure about cookies but if u use peanut butter and honey and oatmeal u can make some healthy granola. 3 parts oats 1 part peanut butter and 3/4 part honey. just put it all in a bowl and mix until its all well blended together

Butter makes everything better but you can replace the butter with Crisc or lard and make as usual.

I've substituted olive oil for butter in oatmeal cookie and scone recipes, and they're pretty good.

uh oatmeal cookies maybe
