One one‐ounce, homemade oatmeal cookie will give you up to 27 mg of folate―6% of your daily recommended allowance (RDA)―a B vitamin that your body uses to make energy. It will also give you small amounts of vitamin A and vitamin K. Oatmeal cookies are also a good source of iron. A one‐ounce, homemade oatmeal cookie contains .70 mg of iron―9% of the RDA for men and 4% of the RDA for women. It also contains small amounts of potassium and zinc. Finally, oatmeal cookies are a great source of fiber. A one‐ounce, homemade oatmeal cookie will give you a whole gram of soluble fiber, which reduces “bad” cholesterol and lowers your risk of heart disease.
