2 thick slices hearty multi-grain bread
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
3 ounces grated white Cheddar

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the apples. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • If you don't have apple cider vinegar, you can substitute white vinegar or lemon juice.
  • Be sure to measure the flour correctly. Too much flour will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just golden brown around the edges. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Apple cheddar cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy with a sweet and tangy flavor. The apples and cheddar cheese add a nice crunch and flavor contrast. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
