When my doctor told me I needed to drop my cholesterol by 30 points within 90 days—or else start taking statins—I knew I had to rethink my sweet cravings. Traditional cookies, loaded with egg yolks and butter, weren’t going to cut it. So, I developed this recipe that not only satisfies my sweet tooth but also helps support healthier cholesterol levels.
Oats are famous for their cholesterol-lowering power, and adding cooking oils rich in Omega-3s gives these cookies an extra heart-healthy edge. The best part? They’re so chewy and delicious that no one would guess these treats are actually good for you. Here’s to improving heart health—one cookie at a time!
Blue Ribbon Oatmeal Cookies
Sweet, chewy, and perfectly spiced, these cookies replace egg yolks and half the oil with applesauce, making them lighter but still full of flavor and tender texture. You might even think they contain butter!
