Apple Pie Cookies
Slightly adapted from The Naptime Chef
Makes about 4 dozen
Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening
1 1/3 cups brown sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
2 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon (I always use a heaping teaspoon)
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup finely chopped apple
*Original recipe also called for 1 cup walnuts, but I don't like nuts in my cookies, so I omit them.
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Using a mixer, combine the shortening and brown sugar. Add in the milk and egg, and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt.
- Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using the mixer.
- Stir in the chopped apple by hand.
- Drop tablespoon-sized cookies onto prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. *Optional: Flatten cookies slightly using your fingers or a spoon. This creates a flatter cookie, obviously. The cookies in my pictures were flattened like this.
- Bake about 12 minutes or until cookies are slightly browning. They will soften up immensely when cooled, so don't worry if they look a little too brown right out of the oven.
- Cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- I would suggest storing these in the fridge unless you're going to eat them within a day or two.
On a different note, I have an insanely large to-do list going. I won't bother with reciting the entire thing because it would take too long, but I will say that I am determined to get my newest scarf finished this weekend! There! Now it's published, so it must become so!
