Method
Preparation
-
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
-
In a blender or coffee grinder, grind the rolled oats until they are fine.
-
Toast the walnuts in a dry pan until fragrant, then grind them into crumbs.
-
Finely chop the raisins and dried cranberries.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground oats, walnut crumbs, chopped raisins, chopped dried cranberries, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
-
In a blender, blend the apple with water until you have a smooth mixture.
-
Add the blended apple and vanilla extract to the dry mixture, and stir until everything is well combined.
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Form small cookies from the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
-
If desired, decorate each cookie with a few dried cranberries on top.
Baking
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-25 minutes, or until they are lightly golden.
-
Once done, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Substitute nuts or dried fruits with your favorites. Mix in extra ground oats if the dough feels too wet. For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them.
