I have found a great vegan oatmeal cookie recipe. The recipe is found here Vegan Oatmeal Cookie Recipe along with a lot of other great vegan cookie recipe's to try.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:

3/4 cup margarine (make sure it's vegan margarine!)
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup soy milk 1 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1 cup raisins, dried cranberries, or dried cherries
3 cups rolled or quick cooking oatmeal
Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Beat together the sugar, brown sugar, vegan margarine and vanilla until smooth and fluffy. Add the soy milk and mix until combined. Add the flour, baking soda, salt and spices, and stir until well mixed. Add the remaining ingredients. Batter will be very thick. Drop by 3 inch balls onto cookie sheet and flatten slightly. Bake 12-15 minutes, or until done. Cookies will still be slightly soft and chewy.

Why do I find it so hard to get started on this healthy way of eating? I can make the excuse that it's because I'm cooking for my omnivorous family. I suppose I don't want to have to cook a separate meal. Someone gave me an excellent suggestion to make all vegan sides and make the entree's different. Perhaps I can do that. Either way, I MUST do something now. The doctor is not saying anything about my cholesterol but it's on the high side, as is my blood pressure. My weight keeps going up. If I don't make the change now I fear my grandmother's fate will one day be my own.
