Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. In small bowl, stir glaze ingredients until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Cover; set aside.
2 In large bowl, beat 1/2 cup butter, the shortening, 1/2 cup granulated sugar and the brown sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until thoroughly mixed. Beat in eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla until well blended. Beat in oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and flour, scraping side and bottom of bowl once, just until blended. Stir in apples and walnuts.
3 On ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls (scant 1/4 cup) about 2 inches apart.
4 Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until edges are golden brown and centers are set. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Using spoon, drizzle about 1 teaspoon glaze onto each warm cookie. Cool completely, about 10 minutes.

These are great cookies! My husband prefers them without the glaze. They are moist and very tasty and not near as complicated as many holiday cookies. The only concern I have is storage: should they be refrigerated, especially after a few days if not all are eaten? The recipe didn't say anything about storage options, especially long-term storage. A similar recipe I've made calls for refrigeration if not eaten within a day or two.

I had a few apples and wanted to try something different and this was a great choice. Came out moist and delicious. Actually I never made the glaze for them...cookies were great also without the glaze.

Simple delicious cookies. I baked a batch for a Christmas party at work. They disappeared so fast I didn't even get one. The apples make them moist and the spices add that extra touch, and the smell was wonderful. The glaze was a nice finishing touch. Highly recommend these cookies.
