Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 35m

Yield 18-20 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch of grated nutmeg
3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup shredded carrot (about 3, peeled and trimmed)
1/2 cup apple, shredded (with or without peel. I used gala with peel, but whatever you have is fine)
1 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans (optional)

Steps:

  • Position oven racks in the upper-middle and lower-middle positions and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • With a stand or hand mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy and smooth. Add the sugars and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes, then add the egg and beat for another minute. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the vanilla. Continuing on low speed, add the flour mixture in 2 or 3 batches and beat only until they just disappear into the mix. The dough will be very thick, but don't overbeat to incorporate the flour. Using a rubber spatula, mix in the carrots, apples, cranberries and pecans.
  • Spoon about three heaping tablespoonfuls of dough (or use a large cookie scoop, which is what I did) onto the prepared baking sheets at a time, leaving about an inch of space between them. Using your fingers, every so slightly flatted the tops of the cookies.
  • Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, rotating the sheets from top to bottom and front to back at the midway point. The cookies should be light brown and only just firm on top. Carefully transfer the cookies to racks to cool to room temperature. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

APPLE SPICE COOKIES



APPLE SPICE COOKIES image

I know a certain man who is going to love these. He loves anything with apples or even the taste of apples. These will knock his socks off! Recipe & Photo: ricekrispies.com

Provided by Ellen Bales

Categories     Cookies

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 c rice krispies cereal
2 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1 1/4 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 c butter, softened
1/4 c unsweetened applesauce
1/4 c molasses
2 egg whites
1/4 c granulated sugar

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, combine cereal, flour, soda, salt and spices; set aside.
  • 2. In a separate bowl, with an electric mixer, beat together brown sugar and butter on medium speed until thoroughly combined. Add applesauce, molasses and egg whites, mixing until smooth. Add the cereal mixture, mixing until combined.
  • 3. Drop by level tablespoon into granulated sugar and roll to coat. Place on baking sheets sprayed with cooking spray. Press with bottom of measuring cup dipped in sugar to 2-1/4-inches in diameter.
  • 4. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven about 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from baking sheets and cool on wire racks. Store in airtight containers.

Tips:

  • Use fresh apples: Fresh apples provide the best flavor and texture for apple spice cookies. Choose firm, crisp apples that are not too tart, such as Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Pink Lady.
  • Peel and dice the apples finely: This will help them to cook evenly and distribute their flavor throughout the cookies.
  • Use a combination of spices: The spices in apple spice cookies are what give them their characteristic flavor. Use a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice for a classic flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature: Baking the cookies at a moderate temperature will help them to cook evenly without burning.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.

Conclusion:

Apple spice cookies are a classic fall treat. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their warm spices and sweet apples, these cookies are sure to put you in the holiday spirit. So next time you are looking for a delicious and festive treat, give apple spice cookies a try.
