Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies

Sometimes you need to step away from the normal chocolate chip cookie recipe and try something new. Since it's fall and apples are in season, its a perfect time to make apple cookies.

These are soft and chewy cookies that are packed full of flavor. I made two variations of these cookies. One using rice flour and one using all purpose flour. Both turned out delicious, so if you are gluten free feel free to make the switch and just use rice flour.

These are also great to make if you run out of chocolate chips and still want something sweet. Not like that ever happens in my house though...
