Oatmeal Raisin Apple Cookies

I have this Scottish Oatmeal which I got on Amazon and I am planning to use it in breads and cookies.  After nearly 6 months in the closet, I finally got around to using it.  The cookies were simply delicious.  B and I were on not-so-good terms today.  They were delicious enough to get through his defenses.  From what I could understand, he preferred them over me.  Still, that's saying something for the cookies at least.

1 cup Scottish oatmeal
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour (I used whole wheat chapathi flour)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
4 tbsp butter (1/2 stick) (cold)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup raisins
1/2 of a medium apple, peeled and chopped fine
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup yoghurt
1 tsp vanilla essence

Combine oatmeal, wheat flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.

Rub the cold butter into the flour.  Add the sugar and mix.  Mix in the raisins and apple.

Add the milk, yoghurt and vanilla essence.

Make a dough without handling too much.

Make small ball and flatten them out on the pan.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.  Bake the cookies for about 15 to 17 minutes.
