cookie time!

I started baking last week in anticipation of my brother's extended vacation (also, I just wanted some oatmeal cookies). I decided to try these Oatmeal Fruit and Nut (without the nuts, though) cookies because they weren't loaded with butter and sugar. It also wasn't necessary to break out the hand mixer, so I was able to whip these up between other household chores that day.

There's a lot--seriously, a lot--of cinnamon in these cookies but for some reason that just serves to make the nutmeg come through stronger. It's a good flavor, though; you know I'm never going to knock cinnamon. And you don't even really notice the shredded apple--I just like knowing it's there.
