Apple Pie Oatmeal Cookies

A neighbor/friend of mine Christina, posted a picture of some cookies on her Facebook and they looked amazing. I asked her to please share the recipe and she did. Not only did she share the recipe, but hand delivered a small bag of them to us. They were so good and were the perfect bite of fall. 

She also has several other Autumn recipes and cakes on her blog, http://www.butterflykissesntastydishes.blogspot.com.

I am going to share with you the original recipe, but I also made them a way my husband suggested. They were both delicious. The ways to make these cookies are endless. 

Shopping List

1/2 cup butter (1 stick) softened, do not melt

1 cup of Musselmans honey cinnamon applesauce

1 cup light brown sugar

2 cups of all purpose flour

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup of oatmeal

1 1/2 teaspoons of apple pie spice

1 cup of chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375

In a large bowl, combine egg, softened butter, apple sauce and brown sugar. Add remaining ingredients and stir well. 

Fold in chocolate chips. Use a small ice cream scoop or cookie dough scoop out onto your baking sheet. You can lightly spray it or use parchment paper. 

Bake at 375 for 15 minutes. 

Enjoy!

Makes 3 dozen cookies

Now I made them using butterscotch chips and 1 cup of pecans. They were very good too. My husband isn't a huge fan of chocolate chips and loves nuts! Either way you go, they will be the perfect taste of fall.
