Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies

I came across these while surfing the web and thought they sounded good for Fall. OMG! These are some of the best tasting cookies I've come across in a long time. We will definatly be making these again.

2              sticks     butter, softened  + 3 tbsp for sautéing apples

2                              apples, peeled and chopped
2                              eggs, at room temperature
3              cups       oats
2              cups       flour
1              cup         sugar
1              cup         brown sugar  + 3 tsp for sautéing apples
3              tsp          cinnamon
1              tsp          salt
1              tsp          baking soda

Preheat oven to 375°.

Melt 3 tbsp butter on med-low heat in a non-stick pan. Add apples, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 3 tsp brown sugar and stir until bubbly. Reduce heat and let apples simmer for 3 minutes then remove from heat.

I used one green and one red apple to give it a little tange but I think they would be good with two of either color as well.

Yum!!!

In a large mixing bowl combine oats, flour, 2 tsp cinnamon, and salt. Set aside

In a separate bowl, with an electric mixer, cream together 2 sticks butter, 1 cup brown sugar,  and 1 cup granulated sugar. Add eggs one at a time, mixing between each. Add dry ingredients; mixing until well combined. With a wooden spoon fold  in apple mixture.

Spoon dough on to greased cookie sheet 2 inches apart and bake for 12 minutes

Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to cooling racks.
