Not that you need it, but you now have my permission to eat cookies for breakfast. Specifically, these cookies filled with old-fashioned oats, chunks of apple, walnuts and a sweet blend of cinnamon and nutmeg. Soft apple-spice oatmeal cookies are the breakfast cookie you didn’t know you needed.
Just as comforting as a warm bowl of oatmeal in cookie form, making them perfect for breakfast or with an afternoon cup of tea. You know, if cookies for breakfast isn’t really your thing.
These cookies couldn’t be easier to make. They took no time at all and filled my kitchen with such a wonderful autumnal smell. My dog helped me out by eating some of the apple peel. Baking is a family affair.
One thing to note – these cookies are best kept in the fridge. The apples will turn the cookies a little soggy if they’re left out. We don’t want that.
Go forth and bake. I just took care of your breakfast for the next few days 🙂
