Apple Cranberry Oatmeal Cookie Bites

Ingredients:
2 Cups Old Fashioned Quick Oats
1 1/2 Cup Whole Wheat Flour (can substitute white)
4 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Nutmeg
3 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
4 tbsp Butter - melted / cooled
2 large Eggs - Beaten
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 Cup Maple Syrup
3 Large Apples - Peeled - Small Dice
1 Cup Dried Cranberries or Cherries - Rehydrated

Directions:
Stir together in a large bowl the oats, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder & salt.

In a separate bowl, mix together the butter, eggs, vanilla, & syrup.

Slowly add in the wet ingredients to the dry, mixing thoroughly.  Add in the apples and cranberries and mix until combined.  Cover w/ plastic wrap and place in fridge about 1/2 hour.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Using a small ice cream scoop (about 1 inch size), scoop out the batter onto the baking sheet. Pat down the dough to flatten it slightly.  The dough will not spread so don't worry about them all baking together.

Bake for about 13-14 minutes.

Makes about 72 cookie bites. Keep in airtight container in the fridge.

Enjoy. #Cheftainment
