What makes these "cookies guilt" free?
2. gomin1996 - May 23 10:17am
honey instead of sugar, nut oil instead of butter and dark chocolate instead of milk

Your still using sugar if you have switched to honey. Honey contains 40% sucrose (table sugar) and 60% fructose (fruit sugar). People think honey is more natural which is a bit of a joke because it is a processed food also (processed by bees!). Don't get me wrong I like honey but don't kid yourself.

oats, honey and chocolate - I can't see that combination working at all.

its healthy because foods are more in natural form, oats add extra fibre and are low GI and oils privde good fats compared to bad fats of butter and marg.

Still very fattening why say it is low fat when it isnt low fat at all and it is high in sugar so fogot about the diabetics and ones with cholestrol as well

I am sure that diabetics and people with colesterol know what they can and cant eat, no one said anyone HAD to make them, so if you dont think they are healthy for you or agree they are "guilt free" dont make them.. simple really. ,

sounds pretty good to me. Why don't you make them to see what they taste like.

Surely home made cookies with natural ingredients that contain much less SATURATED fats than cookies from a packet or made with butter, sugar and milk chocolate, are going to be better for you. Doesn't mean you can eat 20 of them. Also, dark chocolate is good for you in small doses.

considering most biscuits have white flour, white sugar, butter or marg in, the alternative here is (dare i say it) tenfold better. its a welcome change thats for sure!

Puppy lullaby: When my now eight year old dog was a puppy, I used to say 'night, night Zoe, night night'. She would go straight to her bed and lay down. When I started humming a lullaby, she fell asleep before I had even finished the first verse.
