Deep Dish Cheddar Apple Snickerdoodles #Recipe

I am a HUGE fan of Tillamook Cheese!  So when they asked if I would create a recipe using their cheese, butter and/or sour cream, I said YESSSSSS!

My husband was just as excited as I was about this opportunity!

I was pretty sure I wanted to make a dessert but I took some time to consider all the ideas that my husband and I tossed around.

And then it was time to PLAY!

Day 1: I made shredded slow cooker chicken with apples, carrots, celery and a little onion.  And used 1/2 of that chicken to make Chicken Salad with Tillamook Cheddar.  It was ok, but a little weird.

Day 2: Apple Nachos. YUCK.  Don’t ever attempt this!  (It’s sliced apples with shredded cheddar on top and then baked for 5 minutes.)

Day 3: This recipe – Deep Dish Cheddar Apple Snickerdoodles – YUMMM!!  The apples & cheddar are very subtle in the cookie, but it’s amazing!!

Oh, and I am sure you’ve noticed that I used apples in every recipe I tried.  There are two reasons for that: 1) I have some good friends that LOVE apples & cheddar together, so I wanted to try to work with that 2) Apples are in season right now, which means they are super cheap.  Plus they are delicious and good for you!
