Thick, soft and chewy is how I have to describe these cookies. Personally, I have never enjoyed an oatmeal cookie until now. Even an oatmeal scotchie could not do it for me. However, you throw in some apple bits with the oatmeal and I am all there. This is like having a bowl of delicious apple cinnamon oatmeal in an easy to carry form.
You will be able to make these with no hassle and ingredients already in your home. Prepare yourself! You will start to think of numerous variations to this recipe, all of which will be super tasty. You will think about oatmeal, apple and raisin; maple brown sugar oatmeal. And even peaches and cream oatmeal cookies.
Apple Oatmeal cookies are a great refreshing cookie. It is nice to have something other than the common chocolate chip or peanut butter all the time.
These are loaded with fiber and lower in calories than a normal chocolate chip cookie. The flavors do the talking rather than the sugar.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What if I do not have nutmeg?
You can substitute the nutmeg for an additional teaspoon of cinnamon.
Can I freeze these cookies?
You can freeze them. Allow them to cool completely and then place them into a freezer safe bag. They can remain in the freezer for 3 months. When you want them, you can heat them in the microwave or in the air fryer for just a few seconds to a minute tops.
Can I freeze the cookie dough?
To freeze the dough, you will line a tray with parchment paper and using a cookie scoop, place scoops of dough on the tray, lined up. Slightly flatten each cookie ball. Allow to freeze, place dough into a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
Will these work to make ice cream sandwich cookies?
They most definitely will. They are soft so the ice cream is likely to soak in faster than it would with a crisp cookie. They would be delicious as an ice cream sandwich.
How do I store these cookies?
They can be left on the counter in an airtight container, or you can place them into a ziploc bag. These do not need refrigeration, but like all foods will last longer if kept in the refrigerator.
