Hi Carly’s Crew!

This was a bit of a weird week…my house is being renovated so everything is a mess and I didn’t have time to go grocery shopping! I broke out of my healthy eating habits and chose to make cookies. We had tons of apples around the house and not much of anything else so I decided to make apple cinnamon cookies. They had sugar and butter in them so they weren’t super healthy, but an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Right?

Step 1: Preheat oven, line baking sheets with parchment paper and measure out all ingredients.

Step 2: Peel and chop one cup of apples.

Step 3: Mix together dry ingredients.

Step 4: Mix together wet ingredients and then add dry ingredients and apple.

Step 5: Create balls of cookie dough and flatten using hand.

Step 6: Cook for 15 minutes and ENJOY!

Difficulty level: 6/10

These cookies are pretty similar to any other cookie recipe so it was something that seemed very familiar to me. Right after I began mixing together my dry ingredients I realized that our Mixmaster was deep under the stairs due to our renovations. This meant I had to cream the butter and sugar, and mix along with the rest of the wet ingredients, by hand. It took a little longer than it would’ve if I had used an electric mixer and thats the only reason the difficulty level is higher.

Deliciousness level: 9/10

Cinnamon and apple together is absolutely delicious no matter what and these cookies were no different! They weren’t too sweet and they were the perfect texture. So far, this is my favourite treat I’ve baked. I tossed the apple in lemon juice before mixing it in and that give the apple pieces a little kick. I would highly recommend these to anyone!

Maybe next week my treat will score a 10/10 for deliciousness…you better check back in to see! Bye for now 🙂
