This morning, I was looking to bake. I had some cinnamon chips (made by Hershey, I’ve found them at Cub and at SuperTarget) and some apples. I figured there had to be someway I could combine them… I found a recipe for Cinnamon Chip Apple Cookies… Super yummy! Some of the best cookies I’ve ever had!

Cinnamon Chip Apple Cookies

3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon apple juice *
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
1 (10 ounce) package HERSHEY®’S Cinnamon Chips
1 cup apples – peeled, cored and chopped
1/2 cup raisins

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease cookie sheet.
2. Beat butter, brown sugar, egg, apple juice and vanilla in large bowl until creamy. Stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add to butter mixture; beat until blended. Stir in oats. Add cinnamon chips, apple and raisins; stir until blended. Drop by teaspoons onto prepared cookie sheet.
3. Bake 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.

* I used Pear Juice, because I wasn’t going to open a big jar of apple juice for 1 tbsp, and I have pear juice on hand for Maria’s rice cereal…
