Ingredients
1 ¼ Cups Gluten Free Flour (Almond or Oat Flour)
1 ¼ Cups Gluten Free Rolled Oats
2 Tsp Cinnamon
½ Tsp Kosher Salt
½ Tsp Baking Soda
½ Cup Unsalted Butter (Room Temp)
¾ Cup Brown Sugar (Packed)
1 Large Egg (Room Temp)
2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Cup Granny Smith Apple (Finely Chopped & Peeled)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray lightly with non-stick spray and set aside.
- In a medium-large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, gluten-free rolled oats, cinnamon, kosher salt and baking soda. Whisk together until combined. Set bowl aside.
- In a smaller bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and brown sugar using a spatula. This takes about 5 minutes of consistent stirring. Once the brown sugar and butter are creamed, add in the egg and vanilla extract and continue to mix. Once ingredients are fully incorporated, set aside.
- Combine the creamed brown sugar mixture with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Next, add in your finely diced granny smith apples and give them a mix into the dough. Add in Crofter’s Organic Premium Morello Cherry Fruit Spread and lightly swirl into the dough.
- Scoop out 2 Tbsp of dough and form balls. Place dough balls about 1 inch apart from each other onto the prepared baking sheet. Once space, lightly press them down with a fork. Bake cookies for 13-15 minutes (until golden brown). Once done, let cool on the baking tray for 5-10 minutes to set and then transfer over to a wire rack to fully cool. Enjoy!
