Did you know that the month of October is National Cookie Month?! How fun and yummy! In honor of such a special month I want to share with you a lovely Fall flavored cookie recipe along with a fabulous cookie giveaway from Tate's Bake Shop.
Last December I had the opportunity of receiving a variety of cookies from Tate's along with their wonderful cookbook - as seen here. When I was contacted once again to review one of their newest kind of cookies -Whole Wheat Dark Chocolate Chip - I jumped for joy! Dark Chocolate is one my all time favorite kinds of chocolate. Honestly, I like any kind of chocolate but dark chocolate is pretty special.
Let me tell you when I took my first bite of one of these cookies my eyes feel back into my head with happiness. SO good! The cookies are chewy yet crisp - the best of both worlds. And the taste is perfect - not too sweet with plenty of dark chocolate chips throughout the
cookie.

Apple Cinnamon Chip Cookies
(recipe slightly adapted from So Domesticated)
Ingredients:
2 Granny Smith apples (or any kind of baking apple), peeled and chopped
1 tsp lemon juice - keeps the chopped apples from browning
3 cups Bisquick
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup half and half (I used 2% milk instead with success)
1 egg
1 cup cinnamon chips (I added this to the original recipe)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or lightly spray with non-stick baking oil.
2. Peel and chop apples into small pieces. Place apples in a bowl and toss with lemon juice. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl mix together Bisquick, both sugars and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
4.Whisk together half and half (or milk) and egg. Pour into Bisquick mixture and stir to combine.
5. Add in chopped apples and cinnamon chips. Stir to combine.
6. With a medium ice cream scoop, drop dollops of cookie batter onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Makes a good 2 dozen cookies. Store cookies covered in a tightly sealed container.
Enjoy!
Happy Apple Cinnamon Chip Cookie Baking!
