Apple Pie Cookies

Ingredients

Cookies: 

2 sticks of melted butter

1 cup of dark brown sugar (light will also work, dark is my fave)

*½ cup of granulated sugar

2 eggs

3 cups of apf (all purpose flour)

½ tsp of baking soda

1 tsp of sea salt

1 tsp of vanilla

1 tbsp of pumpkin spice mix or apple pie spice mix (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, clove and all spice)

1 Green apple peeled and chopped small

Icing:

1 cup of powdered sugar, 1 tbsp of maple syrup, 1 tsp of vanilla, splash of milk.

Cooking Instructions

Preheat oven to 350

Line a baking tray with parchment.

Melt the butter.

In your stand mixer, or hand blender (you can also just use a wooden spoon)

Mix your sugars, vanilla and melted butter until fully mixed. You don’t want it to get fluffy and it likely won’t if your butter is still hot.

Carefully mix in the eggs so as to not over mix.

Add in the flour, baking soda, salt and spice mix.

Stir until combined, it may be a little sticky but you want to be able to roll them into balls. If it's so sticky that you can't do that, add in 1 tbsp more flour at a time until you can. You don’t want a firm dough though, so a little sticky is ok. 

Stir in the apple and roll into large cookie dough balls. I like to get 18 out of a recipe.

Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool on the tray and then make the icing to drizzle on top.

Mix icing ingredients together until you have a drizzly icing, add more liquid if too thick, and add more sugar if too runny. 

*Note for a healthier twist you could always use coconut sugar

*Don’t over mix anything, they won’t turn out bad but they might turn out more fluffy and less chewy.
