Guest Post from Noshing With the Nolands...Featuring Apple Oatmeal Cookies

Michael and I are enjoying our final day in New York today...so my #SundaySupper friend Tara from Noshing With the Nolands is here to share a fantastic oatmeal cookie recipe with y'all! Oatmeal is Michael's favorite cookie, so I'm sure I'll be whipping up a batch of these amazing cookies very soon. Thanks so much for guest posting for me today, Tara!

I am very happy to be here today. I have to say I do enjoy guest posting very much, and when Wendy needed help I was happy to lend a hand. I am Tara Noland from Noshing With The Nolands and have met Wendy through #SundaySupper. As you already know, Wendy has a fabulous site and is a wonderful lady with creative and interesting recipes.

I am always on the hunt for a healthier looking cookie for our daughter's lunch box. Something that I can pop into the freezer in 2 or 3 cookie portions, that I can then grab quickly in the morning. Amber loves homemade cookies and of course you can then monitor what you put in them. With all the peanut and nut allergies that children have I omit nuts for her lunch box but a walnut or pecan would do nicely too in this recipe. I liked that they were a bit different than your usual oatmeal cookie and had the added benefit of the apple. They are a nice soft cookie too, which is helpful as our daughter just got braces put on and is getting used to that.

When you look at the recipe, you may see an ingredient that you are not use to seeing. It is Poudre Douce and it is a Medieval and Renaissance blend of "sweet" spices like cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. If this is not available to you, simply just use cinnamon. I hope you enjoy this cookie recipe, there are still lots of days left to have to fill those lunch boxes so I hope this helps you out. ENJOY!!
