APPLE AND CINNAMON OATMEAL COOKIES

APPLE AND CINNAMON OATMEAL COOKIES
makes about 27
½ cup butter (1 stick), room temperature
½ cup sugar
½ cup packed light brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup cake flour
1 ¼ cup old fashioned oats
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 large apple ( I used a Granny Smith)
1 teaspoon bottled lemon juice (I would have preferred freshly
squeezed, but there were no lemons to be found in the fridge)

Preheat oven to 350 ºF.  (180ºC)
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment or a Silpat pad.
Peel, core, and dice the apple into small pieces. Place into a
small bowl and toss with the lemon juice; set aside.
In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment,
cream the butter and sugars until soft and light.
Add the egg and vanilla.
Beat until well combined.
n a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking
powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Pour into butter mixture and beat until just blended.
Mix in the apple.
Bake for 10-13 minutes or until desired doneness.
Cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to wire
rack to cool completely.

Die’s ongelooflik lekker. Ek het die suurlemoen, kaneel, neutmuskaat en appel uitgehaal en M&m’s (ook choc chips as ek nie M& M’s kan kry nie) ingesit. 17 min 170 ºC en dis bietjie crispy op die randjie en chewy deur die middel!

Hier’s die foto van die oatmeal cookies. Hierdie het ek met macadamia neute en wit sjokolade gemaak ipv die appel, kaneel en rosyne in die oorspronklike resep.
