Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies
Cookies are always hit around here, no surprise there! Although I have no problem with serving the real deal, I also like being able to put a healthier spin on a cookie recipe. To make cookies healthier, I like to bump up the fibre, add in some fruit and cut down on the sugar. We love the apple cinnamon combo in this house so I wanted to come up with a cookie recipe that incorporated those flavours and these fit the bill perfectly. They are so delicious and really hit the spot when a cookie craving hits. I serve these for snack with cheese, yogurt or a glass of milk and a fruit on the side depending on how big appetites are. I am also totally comfy with offering these for breakfast too!
