Online all I see is stuff with apple juice (sugar), flour, caro syrup, brown sugar, flour, butter.
And yes, this is under healthy.
I hate to see what is unhealthy.

By definition the only cookies you can have in unlimited numbers, are the cookies your web browser uses. And even those are limited by your computer's storage space availability.
Food cookies are by definition: a small cake made from stiff, sweet dough rolled and sliced or dropped by spoonfuls on a large, flat pan (cookie sheet) and baked.
You can't eat unlimited amounts of anything and expect to lose any weight. Work on portion control, and stop bullying butter, sugar, and flour and poor ol' apple juice.0 -

What do you want from a cookie? All cookies are going to have similar ingredients or they will not be a cookie. Those ingredients can be part of a healthy diet.
If you want to eat low calorie snacks with higher nutrition and in higher volume then you are going to have to choose a different food than oatmeal cookies. Try an actual piece of fruit or vegetables. You could eat a couple a bunch of carrots or popcorn (no butter) vs. 1 cookie for example.

Came here to see the posters who were "blasting" you and all I see is good advice. Portion control sounds like the real issue here. I don't have any advice to add that hasn't already been offered - except to advise you to take the advice0

I came here for that reason as well. I just don't see any blasting....at all.
Wow.
Time to go now.

I mix peanut butter, rolled oats, ground flax seed, chopped walnuts, brown sugar, egg and a pinch of salt to make oatmeal cookies. What's unhealthy about that?0

I use oats, banana, honey and dark choc chips. A lower calories version of a cookie. A sweet treat when you need it.0
