Passage:
Homemade oatmeal cookies are not only a better snack option than a candy bar or pack of crackers, they are actually good for you. While processed foods strip the nutrients out during processing, homemade treats keep the nutrients in. One one-ounce, homemade oatmeal cookie will give you up to 27 mg of folate-6% of your daily recommended allowance(RDA)-- a B vitamin that your body uses to make energy. It will also give you small amounts of vitamin A and vitamin K. Oatmeal cookies are also a good source of iron. A one-ounce, homemade oatmeal contains .70 mg of iron -9% of the RDA for men and 4% of the RDA for women. Finally oatmeal cookies are a great source of fiber. A one-ounce, homemade oatmeal cookie will give you a whole gram of soluble fiber, which reduces "bad" cholesterol and lowers your risk of heart disease. So the next time you have a sweet tooth, don't try to talk yourself out of it. Simply make a smart choice, and have an oatmeal cookie!
