Apple and cheddar cookies
Ingredients
625 ml (2 ½ cups) rolled oats
125 ml (½ cup) all-purpose flour
125 ml (½ cup) whole-wheat flour
2.5 ml (½ tsp.) salt
5 ml (1 teaspoon) baking powder
5 ml (1 teaspoon) ground cinnamon
125 ml (½ cup) room-temperature butter
2 eggs
125 ml (½ cup) packed brown sugar
10 ml (2 teaspoons) vanilla extract
250 ml (1 cup) applesauce or 2 apples, peeled and grated
500 ml (2 cups) or 2 diced apples
250 ml (1 cup) or 130 g diced cheddar cheese
24 cheddar cheese cubes for garnish (optional)
Preparation
Place the rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F (180°C).
In a large bowl, mix the rolled oats with the flours, salt and baking powder, set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat butter, eggs, brown sugar and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until creamy.
Add applesauce (or grated apples) and stir.
Add the dry ingredients to the mixture until smooth.
Using a spatula, add the diced apples and cheddar cheese.
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shape 24 balls using an ice-cream scoop (approx. 60 ml) and press together with a spoon. Add a cube of cheddar cheese to the center of each cookie (optional).
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
