APPLE CRISP COOKIES



Apple Crisp Cookies image

Let's face it, apple crisp is great but you can't easily pack it for lunch or snack on it as easy as you may want. This was my inspiration for coming up with this cookie. If you like apple crisp you will equally like this cookie. I prefer a background nutmeg flavor, feel free to add more (or leave it out) for your taste.

Tips:

  • Use ripe apples: Softer apples will yield a more tender cookie with a more intense apple flavor.
  • Peel and core the apples before using: This will help to ensure that the cookies have a smooth texture and no unwanted apple skins.
  • Use a food processor to grate the apples: This is the easiest way to get evenly grated apples. You can also use a box grater, but it will take a bit longer.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown: This will ensure that the cookies are cooked through.

Apple date swirl cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion.
