What you need to make cinnamon apple cookies.

 Cookie.

• Baking Soda. Make sure that your baking soda is fresh for best results.
• Ground Cinnamon. This is for that tasty cinnamon flavor.

• Brown Sugar Alternative. Please use one that measures like regular brown sugar and that can also be baked with.

How to make Cinnamon Apple Cookies.

1. Preheat your oven to 350 and prep a cookie sheet well for nonstick.
2. In a medium bowl, use a whisk or a fork to combine together the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Set this bowl aside.
3. Next, in a mixing bowl, beat together the butter and brown sugar alternative until creamy. Then beat in the egg.
4. Add the flour mixture from the first bowl to the mixing bowl and mix until just combined and then fold in the apple pieces.
5. Use a teaspoon to drop the cookies on to the prepared baking sheets. Leave about an inch and a half to two inches between cookies as they will spread. Then bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until they begin to turn golden.
6. To make the glaze, simple combine the ingredients, making adjustments as needed to get a good consistency for spreading. Then spread the glaze over the cookies while they are still warm.

Tips for making the best cookies with apples.

This recipe works best using more of a tart apple that can be baked with. Granny Smith, Pink Ladies, Jonathan, Fuji, and Gala apples are also good choices.

Here are some more helpful tips for you.

1. My cookies were made using all purpose flour. Oatmeal can be substituted for part of the flour for a more chewy cookie.
2. While these cookie are made using apples, there are other fruits that can work in this recipe. Pears are a good choice.
3. Adding the glaze while the cookies are still warm can help the glaze spread better over the cookies. You can also top this with chopped nuts.

How to store apple cookies.

Once your cookies have fully cooled and the glaze is set, apple cookies should be stored in an airtight container. When properly stored, they should keep for up to three days at room temperature, refrigerated for up to a week, or frozen for up to a few months.
