Incredibly soft — we dare say they are the best oatmeal cookies. Packed with grounded oats and M&M's and so easy to make!

Not that long ago I made the best oatmeal cookies. They were oatmeal cookies but had the texture of those super soft chocolate chip cookies everyone loves.

I know they were a winner because even my picky husband loved them and he hates oatmeal cookies. The problem is I was stupid and wasn't writing the recipe down as I went. I am SO mad at myself!

These guys are pretty close but I still might make a future tweak to the recipe.

This recipe uses Swerve — a sugar replacement that has low calories, low carbs (3-4 per serving), and measures just like sugar. It is made from fruits and starchy root vegetables and with no added extras — so it's very natural.

Cookies already have a bad rap so you might as well use sugar replacements like Swerve to lower some of those bad counts down. Can't hurt, right?
