Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?

So one fine day, I chanced upon organic wholemeal flour at a Organic store under 5bucks so I decided I totally had to get it. I decided in the end to give some wholemeal cookies a try. These are albeit not the healthiest cookies because they still contain teeny weeny little bit of butter and sugar (won't really harm much right?) but they are healthier than most cookies you would probably have eaten. SO YES THERE IS MY JUSTIFICATION FOR YOU TO MAKE THESE.

Made with wholemeal and oatmeal, don't you just feel less sinful already?
