My cookies came out REALLY big. Some of which even ran together but they are still yummy.
This was also my first time using shortening. Have you guys ever used it before? It was weird haha.

They look quite tasty! Never even used shortening!
I have used it, though I try to sub lard if ever possible.
This recipe looks great!! I am mostly a cookie cake person. I like pies but only cream or chocolate ones! Haha!
mmm chocolate pies are the best! (:
Apples and PB pair SO nicely together
You had me at Apple and Cinnamon.
What a great way to use up your leftover apples! PB and apples are so amazing together, aren’t they? I’ve used shortening before to make oatmeal cookies, but I think I used too much of it…made the cookie rather really heavy and rich..imagine that! haha
I love to add apples to my baked goods as well! Muffins and cobblers especially!
Hope you’re having a great evening, Danielle!!
yum yum apples! I can’t wait until I finish the cookies to make something else! If it were up to me I would just keep baking and baking and have recipes all around the house…
apple & pb?? omg, they sound fantastic!
These sound so yummy! We have about 5 tons of apples in our house, so these may happen soon!
