Banana & Apple Cookies



Had my first crack at baking my own cookies today. I've wanted to replicate the Little Plum Spelt Biscuits with Apple, but haven't found a recipe close enough (nor a source of Spelt Syrup). So I've adapted an Amercian recipe, which also meant my conversion from 'cups' to ozs was a rough estimate, at best. The cookies are quite soft & sweet, I think you could cut down the sugar without affecting the taste.

Banana & Apple Cookies

Ingredients:
2 pouches of pureed of Apple & Banana (you could (and possibly should!) use fresh, I just wanted to use these pouches up).
6ozs of brown sugar
2ozs of butter
6ozs of spelt wholemeal
4ozs of white flour
8ozs of oats
1 tsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp of bicarbonate of soda
1/2 tsp of cinnamon


Method:
Preheat your oven to 170C and line two baking trays with greaseproof paper.

Mash the banana in a bowl, add the butter & sugar and mix together.

In a large mixing bowl, bring together all the dry ingredients and mix together. Then stir in the banana mixture and combine. Spoon onto the prepared baking trays and bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
