A Little Family Secret
Don’t overbake these cookies.
They may look slightly underdone when you first take them out, but that’s exactly what you want. As they cool, the centers will set while staying soft and chewy.
If you like a little extra warmth, sprinkle the tops with cinnamon sugar before baking. For a special weekend treat, drizzle the cooled cookies with a simple powdered-sugar glaze.
Make these cookies for fall bake sales, school gatherings and just for the family.
These oatmeal apple cookies are the kind of dessert that belongs in the middle of a busy family kitchen. They’re easy enough to make on a weekday and special enough for a Sunday afternoon.

Soft oats, sweet apples, warm cinnamon, and a little homemade love—that’s what makes these cookies taste like family.
