Oatmeal cookies contain significant amount of minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium and potassium, all of which are needed for overall physical health. Compared to sugar cookies, oatmeal cookies also have less calorie content.
What kind of oatmeal is best for cookies?
Old fashioned oats (rolled oats) provide a chewy, nutty texture and flavor to oatmeal cookies. They are thicker and heartier than quick oats (instant oats).

batch of cookies would be. Our cookies cost $10.37 for a batch of
50 cookies. We then divided the total cost by the number of
cookies. Our cost per cookie is 21 cents.
I am selling my cookies for $1.00 each. After I subtract my cost of
ingredients, I will make 79 cents per cookie. I have 40 cookies to
sell. If I sell all 40 cookies, I will make $31.00 profit.
