Eat Clean Oatmeal Cookies

I was impressed with these cookies. They are from the Eat Clean Diet book which I am in the process of reading. They are not only more natural cookies to eat but they were delicious. I would easily eat these instead of sugar loaded, nutrition lacked cookies.

Ingredients:
2 2/3 cups unsalted olice-oil based margarine
2 cups packed brown sugar
3 large omega 3 eggs
3 Tbsp Honey
1 Tbspbest-quality vanilla
1 1/2 tsp sea salt
3 pounds (8 cups) old-fashioned rolled oats
4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
8 oz dark raisins
8 oz coarsly chopped walnuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Cream the margarine and sugar together in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in the eggs, honey, vanilla and sea salt until smooth and creamy. Use a large wooden spoon to mix in flour and oats until well combined. Add raisins and walnuts if desired. Shape the dough into large three inch balls and press into five or six inch cookies on the baking sheets. Bake for 15 minutes or until as brown as you desire. Cool on wire racks. Makes 24 large and very delicious cookies.
