Toffee-Almond Oatmeal Cookies image

Whole wheat flour is an often overlooked baking ingredient in many kitchens. However, it is a great substitute for traditional flour in many recipes, like this one for oatmeal cookies. For less spread, substitute butter-flavored Crisco (all, or part) for the butter. From Taste of Home's facebook page -- Recipe by Jennifer.
