Cookie Winner! Definitely First Place In My Book!

Definitely a Winner…First Place…. Cookie Recipe!

Several years ago, our local newspaper published this recipe for Apple Walnut Spice Cookies with Vanilla Glaze and let me tell you this cookie is a great tasting cookie….

Of course I haven’t met too many cookies that I didn’t like….

My Jigglies show that…

So here I am eating one of these gems for breakfast!

BUT!  I am also drinking my “green stuff”…that should even out the calories in the cookies shouldn’t it?

Oh well, it’s the Christmas Season!

And my thought process is that the first week of January will definitely be the “GET SERIOUS” about healthier eating options and a regular exercise program!

Maybe, Maybe not….LOL

But if you are looking for a cookie to make, this cookie has it all…and chances are you have the ingredients right there in your pantry.

I know how busy you are…but this is a great recipe and definitely a first place, blue ribbon, number one, top of the line….

oh well, you get my meaning.

Enough talk…this wonderful cookie recipe follows: If you make it, let me know your thoughts!

10. 1 cup finely diced apples
11. 1 cup raisins

TIP: I only use pure vanilla….the extract just doesn’t cut it for me.  But your choice. 🙂
