1¼ cups tart apples, peeled and chopped into small pieces
COBBLER
1 cup oats
¾ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2-3 tablespoons apple butter
Instructions
Prepare the cookie dough
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, cinnamon, salt and baking soda. Set aside
In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter for one minute
Add the white sugar and brown sugar to the butter and cream until smooth and sandy, about 1-2 minutes
Scrape down your bowl
To the creamed mixture, add the apple butter, the vanilla and one of the eggs. Cream until smooth
Scrape the bowl/beater and add the second egg, beating until combined
Add the dry ingredients and the chopped apples to the mixer bowl and blend on low to combine
Give the dough one final mix by hand then cover the bowl and chill the dough for 1 hour
Prepare the cobbler
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the oats, brown sugar and cinnamon
Add 2 tablespoons of apple butter and mix until crumbly
If the mixture looks dry add the remaining tablespoon of apple butter
PREHEAT your oven to 350*F while you portion the cookie dough
Once the dough has chilled, using either a spoon or cookie scoop, portion rounded tablespoons of dough into the cobbler, about 3 or 4 portions at a time
Roll the dough in the cobbler to generously coat each ball. Repeat with the remaining dough, placing the cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Do not flatten the dough balls
Bake the cookies in your preheated 350*F oven for about 12-16 minutes, until they are browned and no longer look wet in the center. Allow them to cool on the cookie sheet
