Healthy Apple Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies are so quick and easy to make. This recipe is perfect to make a snack to bring to work or school.
It’s been a while since I made some cookies.
Around Christmas, I go on a cookie baking spree. Chocolate, mint, apple, gingerbread…every cookie imaginable. Lots for gifts, and some for myself. By some I mean enough so that I might be on the verge to fit into a Santa costume. But after Christmas, the cookie supply just stops.
Now I don’t know if it was the vacation that I just went on or the fact that it’s really cold here now, but I am feeling very Christmas-y. And so in the spirit, I baked some cookies.
These cookies will make you come back for seconds, thirds…and you won’t feel too guilty because it contains fruit. And since they have fruit, it is totally okay to eat them for breakfast (and lunch, and dinner..)
