Why We Love Oatmeal Cookies
In honor of National Oatmeal Cookie Day (officially April 30!), were celebrating this classic cookie. There are so many reasons we love this delectable treat heres how it can be part of a healthy diet.
Nutrition Facts Size matters when it comes to cookies. A Homestyle Oatmeal Raisin Cookie from Starbucks weighs in at 390 calories, 15 grams fat and 65 grams carbohydrates while one at Subway (which is half the size) contains 200 calories, 8 grams fat and 30 grams carbohydrates. An even smaller commercially-prepared oatmeal cookie (3½ to 4-inches in diameter) contains 113 calories, 5 grams of fat, 17 grams carbohydrates. At home, you control the size of the cookie — use a teaspoon to spoon out batter and aim for 3 1/2-inch diameter after baking.
