Chewy Oatmeal Cookies with Apples, Pecans, and Cinnamon Chips

Some people HATE nuts and fruits and oats in their cookies.  I mean there's even groups on facebook named something like...'Get out of my cookie, damn nuts!' or 'Stay out of my cookie, you nasty raisins!'...and more of the like.  Well, I am NOT a member of any of those groups.  I'll gather up all of those members flavors and textures and colors and throw them ALL in my cookies, thank you very kindly.  'Get in my cookie nuts/raisins/fruit/oats/variety !'  Yes, that's it today.  Just some delicious chewy cookies with a gorgeous golden thin outer crust for your chewing pleasure....

Chewy Oatmeal Cookies with Apples, Pecans, and Cinnamon Chips
from the kitchen of girlichef
yield: ~4 dozen

1 c. unsalted butter, room temp.
3/4 brown sugar, packed
1/3 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 Tbs. spiced apple butter (or regular)
1½ c. ap flour
1 tsp. baking soda
2 big pinches fine sea salt
2 1/3 c. rolled oats
½ c. toasted pecans, chopped
½ c. dried apples, chopped
1 c. cinnamon chips

 Preheat oven to 350° F.  Beat butter and sugars in a large bowl until light and creamy.  Beat in eggs, vanilla, and apple butter.  Gradually beat in the flour and salt.  Fold in the oats, pecans, apples, and cinnamon chips. 

Drop by rounded tablespoons onto a lined cookie sheet.  Bake for 12-14  minutes, or until golden.  Cool on tray for a minute or so, then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Enjoy!

  8. Oh yum Heather, they look scrumptious. What I like in my cookie depends on the cookie (if that makes any sense). We don't get cinnamon chips up here, BUT I'm headed to the States this weekend so you can bet I'll be looking for them at the nearest grocery store and stocking up.

  9. These cookies look wonderful. Great photos. Oatmeal cookies are my favorite. Love the nuts but get those raising out of my cookie! :-)

  10. I'm with you, I love all the nuts and berries in my cookies! Honestly, I'll probably eat just about any cookie put in front of me. I can't think of one that I don't like. Yours look divine!

  11. Oatmeal cookies without raisins (at least!) are just a waste of time! I htink the more stuff in cookies the better most of the time!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Yes, I will take it all. Love different flavors and textures. Do you want my mailing address?

  13. *sniff sniff* I can only adore your sweets from afar now...just found out my sugar levels are off the chart, so now I am on a diabetic diet, and oatmeal cookies ARE my favorite! Good with cherries too!

  14. Cinnamon chips? Who knew such a wonderous thing existed? Those cookies just scream "Fall"!

    ReplyDelete
  15. I hate raisins in cookies - they deceptively look like chocolate chips sometimes! Plus I don't really like raisins.
    These look delicious - I've never heard of cinnamon chips, but I've got to buy some now! ;)

  16. These look amazing! They would be so good on a cool fall night...and I love cinnamon chips.

  22. What the heck are cinnamon chips? That question out the way I love dried fruits and seeds and nuts in my cookies, although I have to admit chocolate chip will always be my favorite! Thanks for sharing on Vegetarian Foodie Fridays!

  23. what an awesome combination of flavors! I love raisins in oatmeal cookies. Regular cookies not so much, because I always think it's a chocolate chip cookie, only to be disappointed.

  26. These cookies look scrumptious! I love all of the chunky bits in them. I have to draw the line at raisins though. I love the flavor of them but I just don't like to bite into them in my cookies. I'm a little weird that way.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Yum - I want some of these now. Aren't cookies just the vehicle for nuts and fruit and chocolate and stuff like that?!

    Congratulations on making it through to the next round of PFB - you rock :-)

  30. As long as they are chewy. soft cookies and not crunchy hard cookies, you can put anything in them you want. These look pretty perfect to me! ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  31. Oh, boy! Can't imagine how these cookies smelled while they were baking. Looks like a perfect fall cookie.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Fabulous cookies. I have all the ingredients so must try it. I love chunky chewy cookies.

  33. Delicious, nutritious, fantastic...Now all I need is a glass of milk to go with these. :)

  34. Heather, I know what hubby is going to bake us tonight! THESE COOKIES! Just the other night I asked him to bake up a batch of his best snickerdoodles, but now that I've shown him your post and photo, we're off to find cinnamon chips, since we have everything in the pantry but these! THANK YOU so MUCH for posting these to my Friday get-together. I'm sorry that i missed your Tuesday hop, but won't forget next week. I am truly an absent minded professor with a very cluttered head! Congrats on making it to the next round on foodbuzz.....how exciting!!!!! Roz

  35. What a great cookie! Everything I love, especially the cinnamon chips. I think a cookie is sad when it doesn't have any nuts ;)

    ReplyDelete
  36. Your cookies look delish and filled with just the right amount of extras. I live with a houseful of raisin haters. The only thing they will eat in cookies are chocolate chips....no nuts, no raisinis, no dried fruit, no coconut. Which means that every batch I make containing those dreaded items I get to eat all by myself :( LOL

    ReplyDelete
  37. I have to say that my husband will not eat cookies with either nuts or oats as he claims a weird allergy type reaction. Well, more for me I say! I love the applesauce addition in your cookies.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I just love cookies. These look delicious.

  39. Heather, we're making these RIGHT NOW! Will let you know how they turn out . . . 'cept I could not find 'cinnamon chips' in my iddy-biddy town (will have to drive to Greenville tomorrow to Whole Foods or Fresh Market to find them), so instead we used toffee chips. No nuts either due to hubby's fussiness over them; but he's the baker, and I can't complain about that! This is the second recipe of yours that I've made! Voted for you!

  40. Heather, I like this recipe... in fact, just made it. BUT, i subbed dried peaches and peach butter for the apples...

    OMG

    You'll be seeing the recipe on Wed, and will give a nudge for you to get a few more votes...

    Keep doing your best in the contest!

  41. Heather, the cookies are baked and they are superb! I'd like to post them on your hearth and soul meme, but I have night class tomorrow and will not be able to do so until Wednesday . . . I'm still writing mid-term exams and don't have a second to spare for our blogs until tomorrow. Hugs and thanks for a great cookie! Roz

  42. I really do hate raisins. Over time, I've come to appreciate nuts in my cookies. These look like cookies I'd eat with nuts and raisins. Gorgeous! Irresistable. Yum. =)

    ReplyDelete
  43. I love it all in my cookies - my kids don't want any nuts - goofballs. So, unless I am sharing them with other people, sadly we are nut free. I would love one of these cookies with a cup of coffee right now.

  44. Wondering where to find cinnamon chips! Would love to make these!
