A sign of a good cookie is one that can be enjoyed any time of the day. I love oatmeal and when combined with apples and cinnamon it makes for a special recipe.
Check it out, a cookie that is a nice alternative to a muffin!
Ingredients
2 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cup oatmeal
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup margarine
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 cup chopped apples
White chocolate for drizzle
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F
Beat margarine with sugars. Beat in eggs and vanilla until well blended.
In separate bowl combine and stir together the flour, oats, baking soda cinnamon and apples.
Gradually add to the wet ingredients until blended.
Drop by tablespoon full on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for about 8 minutes until lightly brown.
Cool for a few minutes before placing on cooling rack.
Melt white chocolate chips. Drizzle over cookies.
Tips:
I had a mixture of cinnamon, sugar, raisins and nuts that was blended in a food processor (it was leftover from another recipe). I sprinkled over the top of the cookies for an extra special treat.
Extra dough can be frozen so that cookies can be freshly baked when you need. Flash freeze individual size balls. Place frozen portions on a cookie sheet while preheating the oven, then simply pop in the oven to bake.
