40 g raisins Finely chopped
40 g dried cranberries Finely chopped
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Method
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a blender or coffee grinder, grind the rolled oats until they are fine.
Toast the walnuts in a dry pan until fragrant, then grind them into crumbs.
Finely chop the raisins and dried cranberries.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground oats, walnut crumbs, chopped raisins, chopped dried cranberries, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a blender, blend the apple with water until you have a smooth mixture.
Add the blended apple and vanilla extract to the dry mixture, and stir until everything is well combined.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Form small cookies from the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
If desired, decorate each cookie with a few dried cranberries on top.
Baking
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-25 minutes, or until they are lightly golden.
Once done, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Substitute nuts or dried fruits with your favorites. Mix in extra ground oats if the dough feels too wet. For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them.
