When I came up with this recipe, my daughters were out of school for the fifth time in two weeks because of inclement weather. We were snowbound, and I was going stir crazy! After we'd eaten lunch that day, I gotan overwhelming urge to run into the kitchen and whip up some cookies, soI did. My goal was to use the fewest amount of ingredients possible AND to include items that people would most likely already have at home. I was very pleased with how these cookiescame out.My girls certainly liked them and didn't even miss the chocolate chips!

These cookies are called apple raisin nut cookies. I made them today and realized there are no raisins listed in the ingredients list. Are they supposed to spread, because mine stayed in a ball shape?

Hi, Lori. The raisins are listed. They’re the last ingredient. 🙂 And, no they won’t spread flat unless you flatten them before baking. Thanks for your question!

Hi Kristen,
Thanks for making my Daniel fast experience this year so much easier. The recipes are a
God send, am able to have a wide variety. It sure helped to keep focus on God in my effort to draw closer to Him. I have one question, can blender be used in place of a food processor for this recipe?
Thank You.

You’re welcome! Yes, a blender should work just fine.

Those cookies are AMAZING! I wish I’d made double the recipe. They’re good to keep on hands for those moments when I feel snackish 🙂

Can I make brown rice flour by processing dry rice?

According to Google, you can! Although I’ve never tried it myself, I read that you can make your own rice flour. However, be sure to use a blender or mixer that cracks grains. If you have one for wet ingredients, it will not work.

Would the oat flour work in this recipe and give it more of an oatmeal cookie flavor? When making oat flour, do you use steel cut oats or the standard quick oats.

I think oat flour would work just fine. You should use regular rolled oats or quick-cooking oats. Thanks for your question!

Make your own oat flour by placing old-fashioned rolled oats in a food processor or blender and process until fine (½ cup old-fashioned oats will yield about ½ cup ground oats).

There has to be something missing. I mixed everything together and they were just dry and powdery and nothing to hold them together.

Did you use a food processor to mix the ingredients? This step is essential to help them bind together into a ball.

You can try a blender. Or just do it the old-fashioned way! 🙂
