Apple Oatmeal Cookies
Description
These Apple Oatmeal Cookies begin with creaming butter and sugars, then mixing in an egg and vanilla extract. Dry ingredients including flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon are folded in along with rolled oats and diced peeled apples. The dough is portioned onto a baking sheet and baked until the edges are golden.
While baking, butter is browned in a saucepan to develop a nutty flavor, then combined with powdered sugar and enough milk to create a spreadable frosting. This frosting is applied to the warm cookies and garnished optionally with cinnamon for extra spice and aroma.
The resulting cookies have a chewy texture from the oats, moistness and slight tartness from the apples, and sweetness from the frosting. They are good served as a snack or dessert, especially when freshly frosted and warm.
