Cinnamon & Apple Oatmeal Cookies

Cinnamon & Apple Oatmeal Cookies

With the chill in the air, with another cool front coming through. I found some time to make my Cinnamon & Apple Oatmeal Cookies. 

The cinnamon and apple brings the smell and taste of fall to your kitchen. The apples cook in as they bake so there isn't any need to prebake them. 

I don't make large cookies because most of my cookies goes to kids and I've learned that small nuggets are less of a mess with little hands and mouths. For large groups you might want to double the recipe and use a ice cream dipper to make the cookies the perfect size. Enjoy

Cinnamon & Apple Oatmeal Cookies

2 large eggs

½-cup sugar (Truvia)

¾ cup brown sugar or coconut sugar

1-teaspoon vanilla

1 stick & a half of softened butter (if you’re using salted butter don’t add more salt)

1 ½ cups self-rising flour

½-teaspoon salt

1-Tablespoon cinnamon

1-teaspoon baking soda

3 cups oatmeal

2 apples peeled & diced small.

Heat oven to 350. In a mixing bowl beat butter and sugars until creamy in a mixer. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. In another bowl combine and gently mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Slowly add dry ingredients to creamy mixture, blending after each addition. Then add oats and diced apples.

Drop rounded cookies onto parchment paper and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.

(I make small snack size cookies, but you can use an ice cream dipper if you’d like, to make larger and more precise cookies. If you’d like, you can freeze the cookies in a zip lock bag for later.)

Mix butter, sugar, eggs & vanilla then slowly add combined dry ingredients.

Next add apples and mix

I make round little nuggets & placed them on parchment paper

Slowly add oatmeal and mix after each addition

You may freeze the cookies if you have any left after the kids find them.
