Sometimes you need a hot-from-the-oven cookie. You don't need it to be highly caloric or gorgeous. You just need it fast.
In approximately 12 minutes, you can be seated on your couch, feet up, breaking off chunks of this soft, warm, larger-than-your-fist cookie. Be sure to get a piece of apple in every bite.

Note - I baked mine in the toaster oven.
Interesting that you baked yours in the toaster oven. Sometimes things burn because they are so close to the elements, but it looks like you didn't have that problem. We don't regularly have almond butter on hand. What would you substitute?
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of baking small quantities in the toaster oven. It just heats up so quickly. I haven't tried peanut butter in this, but I feel confident that it would work. I plan on trying it as soon as I finish my jar of almond butter. :-)
