Fruits and Oatmeal Cookies

With holiday season just aund the corner, and with the weather getting cooler, baking season is here!

So, here's a recipe for healthy cookies. They are chewy in the middle and a little crunchy on the outside, (unlike those sometimes awful-jaw-breaker-flat oatmeal cookies or almost-soggy kind).   For my taste, these are the perfect oatmeal cookies :D
