Apple Snickerdoodles

I was walking through the aisles of the grocery store, when I see a sign on a box of cookies. It said "grab breakfast by the biscuits" Now this really jumped out at me. Breakfast? Down the cookie aisle? Impossible.

As soon as I payed for my groceries, I rushed home to make my own breakfast-y cookie. You may be thinking "Oh no Cathleen, what did you come up with now?"

I don't know about you, but I love the flavor of cinnamon in the morning. It warms the cockles of my...stomach. And I approve of cookies at any time of the day.

This actually turned out more like a pancake than a cookie. As in the texture. So the cookie as breakfast transition was smoother than I intended. Because who can say no to a portable pancake. I certainly can't.

-8 tablespoons butter, melted

-2/3 cup brown sugar

-2/3 cup white sugar

    2.   In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and the vanilla.

    3.   In a separate bowl, combine the flours, cornstarch, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing until fully incorporated. Fold in the apples.

    4.   In a small bowl, combine cinnamon with 1/4 cup of sugar
