Honey Apple Cookies

Each week, my little family reserves Monday night for family night. We choose a basic principle - like sharing, honesty, or prayer- talk about it, play little games to reinforce the idea, sing songs, and then we bake cookies. I've been trying some different recipe that don't contain sugar, and this is a favorite.

Honey Apple Cookies

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup stone ground whole wheat flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 1/2 cups ground oats
• 1 apple, shredded

Cream the butter, add the honey, add egg and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients then add to the wet. Stir in oats and apple. I sometimes add a shredded carrot, nuts or sunflower seeds. Bake for 9-10 minutes at 375 degrees.

Happy weekend, friends! Enjoy!
