Apple Pumpkin Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

October 6, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 10 Comments

Hi Everyone!

Today I have for you a cookie that I made last year that I totally forgot about until Alicia commented on them a few weeks ago, she said ” Alicia Costa on September 9, 2012 at 2:55 pm said:  First football game of the season in Maine. My husband and father-in-law have enjoyed a few apple pumpkin oatmeal raisin cookies! I snuck in healthy. It makes me feel good. Thank you for sharing.”  After she wrote that, I said huh, I need to make these again, so here they are!

These are my Apple Pumpkin Oatmeal Raisin Cookies!  These cookies are a combo of pumpkin, apple and an oatmeal raisin cookie all in one!!  There crispy on the outside and soft in the middle.  They are different from you standard cookie, they remind me of soft granola balls!  They are highly addicting too!  I couldn’t stop eating them!  Glad to know they are healthy for you!!


I changed up my original recipe just a bit, by adding less sugar, because the apples were so sweet and I decided not to top it with glaze this time around.  But don’t let me stop you on the glaze, it just adds one more level of flavor on the cookies.   After the cookies sit out for a while they do soften up, so they are not as crispy.  I found it is best to store them in the refrigerator and away from the counter other wise you’ll just keep eating them!!  trust me you will!!

When you make these cookies, one thing to remember is how you shape them, is how they will stay.  I like them round and plump!  They don’t spread out to much, but do rise a little bit!  Also if the cookies seem to small for you, double them up, after all they are healthy!  They would make a great grab and go breakfast!!

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, I shredded two apples for the cookies.  My apples were pretty moist when I shredded them, so you may have wring them out a bit, so there not so wet.

Today, I went to Trader Joe’s and I have to tell you the fall line-up is coming together nicely.  I saw so much pumpkin stuff today!  They had pumpkin tea, pumpkin coffee, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin mousse, canned pumpkin, pumpkin granola bars, pumpkin granola, pumpkin bread mix and of course pumpkins!  Oh and they had my Spiced Apple Cider, that I bought!  I love the stuff!  It’s great for cooking or just warming up!!  I have the worse urge to go back and get more goodies, since I was only there for a quick run!!  Hey, I do need butter and eggs!  Good excuse huh?

So what are your plans for weekend?  Last weekend it was 100 degrees and this weekend it’s 70.  Big difference!   I’m thinking the Farmers Market for some fresh apples.  I’m starting my apple kick now!!  SO be prepared!!

Have a great day!!!

Toodles,

Jen

      Your welcome! I had 3 this morning! I love these little cookies!! If I knew it wasn’t baking Sunday, I’d use the glaze too, but I tend to eat to much batter on this day! 🙂

    How did you shred your apples? Did you use a food processor?

    These are so delicious! I didn’t have raisins on hand so I used dates instead and they added the perfect sweetness. I was craving something sweet and these were a perfect treat without a ton of calories. Thank you!

Hi Everyone! I’m done decorating my kitchen and Hi Everyone! I’m done decorating my kitchen and oh my gosh, I love it!! Pink is so fun! I thought I would share with you how I styled my kitchen sink area.
💗
The inspiration for this space came from the stunning pieces that I was gifted from my friend Britni @arcadian.collective. I love her shop! Such timeless, elegant pieces that will last a lifetime.
💗
I received from Arcadian Collective the solid marble Seraphine Butter Bell, Vintage European solid brass Salt & Pepper Mill, Carrara Cielo Marble Stone Serveware and the cutest pink little Christmas candle. Check out my Arcadian Collective highlight for more details on each product. They would make a great holiday gift!
💗
Hope you have a wonderful day! I’ll be working on the living room today.

Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my a Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my annual snow jar to place on my shelf in the kitchen. You get a tiny sneak peak of my shelves at the end of the reel. The snow jars are so easy to do and you probably have most of the items on hand. 
💗
For the snow, I used blanket snow. You could also use, sugar or Epsom salt. I like the blanket snow because it’s not messy and it hides the fairy lights battery pack.
💗
The houses are ornaments that I bought at Target. I thought they were Perfect for my pink kitchen. Of course you can use whatever you have on hand. It doesn’t have to be a house and tree.
💗
If you buy fairy lights, make sure they have a timer on them. Trust me that will make life easier. If you don’t like fairy lights, you can use a faux candle. 
Ohhh and have a stack of batteries. I go through more batteries in the month of December then I do the rest of the year!
💗
Items used:
Apothecary jar
Fairy lights with timer
Pink house ornament
Bottlebrush tree
Pink ribbon 

Everything, but the pink ribbon was bought at Target. 
💗
Have fun creating! If you make one, tag me so I can share!!

Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last years Christmas. I plan on doing green again in the living room. I just think it looks classic, plus I have all the decor already. So no need to buy more.
🎄
But I still do plan on doing pink in my kitchen. I figured I could use some pink everyday pieces that I already have and add pops of pink ornaments and pink little Christmas trees. I plan doing some shopping this week to see what I can find in pink. I’m so excited!! 
🎄
Have a fantastic Monday!

Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. My husband was sick with the flu, then he passed it on to me. My dog even had an upper respiratory infection. Ugh! It was a rough 2 weeks. Then on Friday I had surgery to remove skin cancer on my chest. I’m sore and I can’t lift or exercise. Anyway, that’s why I have not been on.
🦇
I wanted to give you one last look at my Halloween kitchen before I change it out. Not sure if I’m going to add some Fall or Christmas next. Did you know Christmas is in 63 days? 😳
🦇
So I have been thinking about Christmas colors. The past 2 years I have done green and I love it, however I have always wanted to do a pink Christmas. Just not sure if I can pull it off? I don’t know if I want to go crazy and buy a bunch of pink? What color are you doing this year?
🦇
Have a great day!!

Hello! Happy October! Hope you are having a great Hello! Happy October! Hope you are having a great start to the month. I received the cutest fragrance package from @myclaireburke. I couldn’t wait to add these wonderful fragrances to my home.
🍎
The scent I received is Apple Jack & Peel. It’s fresh apples with cinnamon and a hint of citrus. It smells like fall. Reminds me of when we go to Apple Hill to go apple picking, which we will be doing next week.
🍎
The scent is warm and cozy and the candle and potpourri is so pretty. Not only do these look so pretty in my home, but they would make such a wonderful housewarming gift. I wish you could smell them.
🍎
If you are looking for Fall and Winter scented fragrances. I highly recommend checking out @myclaireburke
🍎
Have a great day!

It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I don’t know what it is, but I love to give pumpkins a bath. Don’t they look cute bathing in the sunlight with bubbles around them? lol
🎃
There are two methods that I have used  in the past; the chlorine bath and the dish soap bath. This is what I have learned.
🎃
My favorite and only way I wash pumpkins now is using dish soap.  It gets rid of the sap and makes them clean. I soak my pumpkins for about 20 minutes. The pumpkins will last until December. Plus if you keep your pumpkins after the holidays it will decay and grow pumpkins the following year. Plus it’s safe for animals that may nibble on your pumpkin.
🎃
The chlorine bath method will make your pumpkins last possibly up to a year. They take very long to break down and I never got my pumpkins to seed themselves. Plus it is not safe for animals in my opinion. Though Clorox Bleach says it’s safe, they just taste salty.
🎃
The key to washing pumpkins is to make sure that you get the area around the stem dry. You don’t want water around the stem. This could make your pumpkin rot sooner. So after the bath, dry your pumpkins off very good. 
🎃
Did you get your pumpkins yet?
.
PS if you are in the Bay Area, I highly recommend going to @threenunnsfarm to get your pumpkins. They have a wide variety and the pumpkins and are .75 a pound. I bought all these pumpkins for $42.
