Whether you're having a dinner party, last-minute guests, or just want a spur-of-the-moment treat, always having homemade cookies on hand--instead of a box of store-bought cookies that will be stale within a week--is just about the coziest thing ever.

FRESH APPLE COOKIES



Fresh Apple Cookies image

This recipe has been in my recipe box for years so I'm not sure where it came from. They're a nice, light cookie that is similar to a snickerdoodle.

Provided by Kater

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Yield 2 dozen, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 large Red Delicious apple, peeled & grated
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cream together sugar, shortening & vanilla.
  • Add in grated apple.
  • Sift together dry ingredients.
  • Add gradually to creamed mixture, combining thoroughly.
  • *If dough appears slightly dry and doesn't come together, let it sit for a few minutes to allow the sugar to pull the juice from the apples.
  • Roll in walnut-sized balls and roll in mixture of 2 Tbsp sugar, 1/2 tsp nutmeg and 1/4 tsp cinnamon.
  • Bake 8-10 minutes on aluminum foil or parchment, until cookies are golden brown and appear crackled.
  • Let cool on cookie sheet 4-5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, crisp apples for the best flavor and texture.
  • Peel and chop the apples evenly so that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter, as this can make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before frosting or serving.

Conclusion:

These fresh apple nut cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion.
