Apple Oat Cookies

So these are cookies that are just like my traditional oatmeal cookies but I slightly adjusted some of the ingredients and added in apples. I know you will love them as much as my peops did!

1/2 cup white sugar
3/4 cup of light brown sugar

1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup of melted butter
2 cups of quick oats
2 cups of apples - peeled and sliced and chopped in to small chunks

1. mix the flour, sugar (both brown and white), cinnamon, baking powder, salt and oats together
2. then add in the eggs and butter
3. add the chunks of the apples and mix well
4. place a spoon full of the cookie dough onto a baking dish
