Apple Peanut Butter Cookies

By srumbel

Classic peanut butter cookies get an apple twist! Perfect for the lunch box or to dip in your morning coffee! These cookies though? Apples and peanut butter in cookie form, I'm telling you! They're really simple to make and the little apple chunks keep the cookies semi-moist. Your kids will love finding these in their lunch box and you will love dipping them in your coffee while they're at school, haha!
