You know those days when you’re just craving something warm, sweet, and homemade? Well, this Sunday morning was one of those for me.
As I snuggled up on the couch, with a cup of coffee warming my hands, I realized I wanted a treat that was comforting yet simple.
And what’s better than oatmeal cookies fresh out of the oven? Plus, I had all the ingredients just sitting there, waiting to be used. Perfect, right?
Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what I grabbed from my pantry:
- 1 packet oatmeal (or 1/2 cup oatmeal with 1 tbsp sweetener)
- 1.5 tbsp apple sauce
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
Let’s Get Mixing 🥄
First things first, I mixed all these ingredients in a bowl. The apple sauce made everything so smooth and the vanilla? Well, it added that extra touch of cozy that I needed. The smell alone was enough to make me smile.
Time to Shape and Bake 🎉
Next, I formed the mixture into cute little cookies. They don’t have to be perfect—after all, homemade is all about that rustic charm, right? Popped them in the oven at 350°F for 6-8 minutes. Just enough time to let the edges get slightly golden and crispy while the centers stay soft.
The Finishing Touch ✨
Once they were out and cooled (I had to restrain myself from diving in too soon), I decided to drizzle some icing on top.
You know, just a little extra sweetness never hurt anyone. I mixed a bit of powdered sugar with water to make a simple icing, and it was the perfect finishing touch.
And voilà! My cozy Sunday treat was ready. These cookies are so easy to make, but they brought a bit of warmth and joy into my day. I hope they do the same for you.
