Apple Toffee Oatmeal Cookies

Apple Toffee Oatmeal Cookies- these chewy cookies are perfect for a fall breakfast, snack, or dessert. A combination of fresh Granny Smith apple, toffee bits, walnuts, and spices gives these glazed cookies so much wonderful fall flavor.

Chewy Texture

I love the chewy texture of these oatmeal cookies. A high ratio of oats to flour gives them a wonderful texture and flavor. They go great with a glass of milk or warm apple cider.

How To Make Apple Toffee Oatmeal Cookies

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, melted butter, applesauce, and egg.
3. Add butter mixture to flour mixture and stir just until combined.
4. Stir in chopped apple, toffee bits, and walnuts.
5. Measure out 1 1/2 tablespoons of batter for each cookie and place on parchment-paper lined baking sheets. Note: They will hardly spread so you don’t need to space them far apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
6. Let cool and then drizzle with glaze. Bet you can’t eat just one!

Kitchen Tools I Use

• Rimmed Baking Sheets– I use these rimmed baking sheets for baking cookies and for roasting vegetables.
• Parchment Paper– not only does parchment paper help keep the cookies from sticking, it makes for easy clean-up.
• Mixing Bowls– I love this set of nesting mixing bowls with lids.

Type of Apples To Use

I most like the tartness of Granny Smith apples in this recipe, but you could use Honeycrisp or Gala instead.

How To Store

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. To freeze, cool cookies completely and wrap individually. Then place in a freezer bag.

Can I Use Quick Oats Instead?

Yes, I like the super chewy texture of old-fashioned oats, but you can use quick-cooking oats for a softer texture.

Recipe Tips

You can use pecans instead of walnuts.

Be sure to finely dice the apples. The texture of the cookies will be much better this way.

A cookie scoop is really handy for scooping the dough and giving you even-sized cookies.
