Apple Cookies
With the texture reminiscent of a muffin top (unarguably the best part of the muffin!), these tender and fiber-rich cookies make for the perfect working-from-home snack!
Ingredients
- ½ cup (65 g) ground almonds
- ½ cup (60 g) rye flour
- ½ cup (30 g) wheat bran
- ¼ cup (20 g) unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ½ brick (125 g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (105 g) brown sugar
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- ¼ cup (60 ml) vegetable oil
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla
- ¼ cup (60 ml) applesauce
- 2 cups (220 g) apples, peeled, seeded and cut into small dice (such as Gala, Cortland or Granny Smith)
Instructions
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine the ground almonds, rye flour, wheat bran, coconut, baking powder, salt and nutmeg.
- In another bowl, combine the cream cheese and brown sugar with an electric mixer. Add the eggs one at a time while whisking. Add the oil and vanilla. With the machine running on low speed, or with a wooden spoon, add the dry ingredients alternating with the applesauce. Stir in the apples. Spoon out 6 cookies onto each baking sheet, using about ¼ cup of the mixture for each one and making sure to space them out.
- Bake one sheet at a time for 15 minutes or until starting to brown. Let cool.
