Maybe my body/mind is going in to panic mode about the upcoming Whole30 Diet challenge, but I really wanted some junk food. I really wanted cookies to be exact. I didn’t have chocolate chips so I figured oatmeal cookies would be second best, but I didn’t have enough oats; I did, however, find a box of blueberry oatmeal and figured that would probably work. You can make cookies with any oatmeal packet. To alter the original oatmeal cookie recipe I just subbed oatmeal packet for the white sugar and oats called for in the recipe.

Recipe after the jump!
