APPLE OATMEAL PECAN COOKIE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 2. Line your cookie sheet with Parchment Paper.
• 3. Mix together all dry ingredients.
• 4. Add all of the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and mix well. I use my kitchen aid for this.
• 5. Now add in the Pecans and Oatmeal. Mix well.
• 6. Don't worry if dough seems a bit stiff and perhaps even crumbly.
• 7. Now add in the Diced Apples and Raisins. Mix well.
• 8. **This is very important, refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This is important as this allows flavors of the cinnamon, nutmeg, oats and apples to blend. Worth the wait. You won't be disappointed.
• 9. Drop by small tsp (I use a small ice cream scoop with a release) onto lined cookie sheet. Then very lightly and flatten the dough. Not much. Just enough so you don't have a raised/pointed top. That way the cookie will bake evenly.
• 10. Bake for 9-15 minutes (depending upon oven)
• 11. Remove cookies from oven when lightly brown.
• 12. Each cookie is approx. 2.81 grams of fat
• 13. Yield 7 doz. of 2" cookies Unless you eat some of the cookie dough like I do... :)
• 14. ***Note*** You can add more cinnamon and nutmeg to taste if you like. This actually can also be applied to the nuts, raisins, and apples. Feel free to add a little extra if you like. In that regards, you make it according to your taste. Happy baking.
• 15. You can also make a glaze of 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla and a tsp of milk. If it's not thick enough, just add a bit more powdered sugar. You can use this to drizzle over the cookies to make them appear a little fancier.
