It’s early September, nearly 90 degrees still in Nashville…I’m just not quite ready for my favorite pumpkin cookie recipe.

Here is a super easy, minimal ingredient cookie recipe that will tide you over for another week or so, until fall is HERE!

  • 1 cup of whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons of baking soda

  2. In mixer bowl beat peanut butter and butter. Then add brown sugar
  3. Add eggs and vanilla
  4. In a separate mixing bowl stir together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt
  5. Gradually add flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture, beating with the mixer until well mixed

The apple pieces in the cookies are something a little different and perfect for a hint of fall taste. These cookies are perfect to make after apple picking! Use the biggest apple for making the cookies – the more apple pieces the yummier the cookie!
