I'm not a big fan of apples, but these cookies were still really good. The dough is so soft and chewy.

These cookies are a bit bland. I think they need more spices.

The cookies didn't turn out as soft and chewy as I expected. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These apple cookies were a hit! They were so easy to make and they turned out perfectly. The cookies were soft and chewy, with just the right amount of sweetness. The apple flavor was also very prominent, which I loved.
