Maple Apple Oatmeal Cookies

It has been forever since I have posted. Life is getting crazy again with the start of school. I finally finished my medical school applications but I just took on a second job. It's almost like I hate having free time.

I made these cookies with a friend right before classes started because they were easy and we had a lot of free time.

They turned out magnificent. So sweet and chewy. At one point I slept walked into the kitchen and ate a few. How did I find this out? I found an array of cookie crumbs on my counter top. Even my sleeping self loved these cookies.
