oatmeal, apple, cinnamon chip cookies
I finally found the cinnamon chips at Winco here in California that all the JAP gals were talking about. I wanted to figure out a good recipe to use them in. I had a lot of apples and thought an apple oatmeal cookie would be a good way to use them. They turned out awesome, and everyone loved them in their Christmas goodie boxes. The local JAP gals who came to the cookie exchange thought they were yumolicious. Enjoy!
