Apple Cheese Cookies Yield: 10 large cookies Ingredients: 75 grams plain flour ½ teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon salt 110 grams grated strong cheddar cheese 120 grams porridge oats (not instant) 150 grams unsalted butter, softened 75 grams golden caster sugar 1 medium egg 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and grated Adapted from Sargento Method: Preheat the oven to 180C and line two large baking sheets with greaseproof paper. Grate the cheese and apples. Squeeze the excess moisture from the apple by placing it in some kitchen paper or a clean dish towel and wringing it. In a bowl of a mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until creamy. Add the egg and beat this in. Next, sift in the flour, baking powder and salt and stir to combine. Add the cheese and stir through, then do the same with the apple. Lastly stir through the oats. Scoop balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets and press them down with the bottom of a wet glass. Bake the cookies in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes. The cookies will smell like cheese on toast when you open the oven door, they will be golden brown with flecks of cheesy orange on the outside. Allow the cookies to cool fully before enjoying, as they are soft and likely to fall apart when picked up when warm.
