Flourless Oat Cookies with Apples
Description
This recipe yields 18 cookies—flavorful and aromatic thanks to cinnamon, nuts, and apple. You can optionally add nutmeg or vanilla sugar. When shaping the cookies you can use a damp ice cream scoop so you get evenly sized scoops. I used dough balls about the size of a walnut; the cookies puff up a little after baking. Serve with tea or coffee.
