Chewy Peanut Butter and Apple Cookies

I had peanut butter and apples and figured somewhere there must be a cookie recipe combining them...I found one at cooks.com.

I broke out the SRM (shiny red mixer)and mixed away. I used a cookie scoop and they turned out very chewy and perfect even in my crap oven.






Mix:

3 tbsp. butter
3/4 cup peanut butter

Add:

1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 egg whites
2 tbsp. skim milk
1/2 tsp. baking soda

Add:

1/2 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup quick cooking rolled oats
1 medium apple (peeled and diced - 3/4 cup)

The recipe looked a little blah, so I added the following:

1 Tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 Tablespoon cinnamon


Stir until mixed; drop by tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheet; flatten slightly.
Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes. These freeze well.

I used a cookie scoop and it made 22 cookies.
