APPLE SPICE COOKIES

Time 40m

Yield 10 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon apple pie spice
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 to 2 small apples, cored and cut into thin rounds (about 1/8-inch thick)
1/4 cup gold sanding sugar or coarse sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place the butter and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until combined, about 2 minutes. Add the maple syrup, vanilla and egg. Beat on medium speed until homogenous, about 1 minute more.
  • Whisk together the flour, apple pie spice, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Pour half of the dry ingredients into the butter mixture and beat on low speed until combined. Repeat with the remaining dry ingredients until a loose, wet dough comes together. Allow the dough to rest for about 10 minutes in the refrigerator; it will thicken slightly as the flour becomes hydrated.
  • Using a 3-tablespoon size scoop, make large mounds of dough on the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 3 inches of space between each cookie. Place an apple ring on top of each mound and press gently down to secure. Generously sprinkle each apple slice with sanding sugar.
  • Bake the cookies until deeply golden brown, about 15 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through the baking time. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your cookies a more complex flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
  • Peel and core the apples before cooking them. This will help to prevent the cookies from becoming too mushy.
  • Cook the apples until they are soft. This can be done in a saucepan on the stovetop or in the microwave.
  • Add the spices to the apples while they are still warm. This will help the flavors to meld together.
  • Let the dough chill for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature. This will help to prevent them from overbrowning.
