Apples. Cookies. Amazing.

Apples, as most people are probably thinking, seem unusual in a cookie. However, they appear to caramelize and compliment the added sugar, dashes of cinnamon. Depending on how each of us like our cookies, I think if it’s a little soft but also crunchy –it’s perfect. Then, on a big eventful night, impress your friends even more when you place the cookies on blobs of ice-cream. Or if on a special day, treat the kids with a cookie and oatmeal for breakfast. Yummy! Trust me, everyone is going to love these!
