apple butter cookies
I've found that whole wheat flour works well when combined with fruit or vegetable purees - like carrot cake, zucchini bread, banana bread, pumpkin loaves, and these cookies. So enjoy using whole grains and eating your sweets!

Step 6If you like, add a little more flour (maybe 1/4 cup) and you can form these into balls and roll in granulated sugar. That's what I did with the ones in the picture.
