Apple Cinnamon Cookies with Maple Glaze🍏

This recipe I found on Pinterest is so delish 😍

Ingredients

For the apple oatmeal cookie dough:

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp lemon juice

1/4 tsp ground cloves

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

1 cup apple (peeled and chopped into 1/4-inch dice)

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not instant)

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

For the maple glaze:

2/3 cup confectioners’ sugar

2 tsp milk

2 tsp pure maple syrup

Step 1: Prepare Baking Sheet and Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper

Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugar, Add Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat the brown sugar and unsalted butter together until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix until fully combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl to incorporate all ingredients.

Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, cinnamon powder, baking soda, ground cloves, salt, and ground nutmeg until everything is thoroughly combined.

Step 4: Combine Ingredients and Add Apples

Gradually add the combined dry ingredients from Step 3 to the butter mixture from Step 2, mixing until a dough forms.

In a small bowl, sprinkle the lemon juice over the diced apples and toss to coat evenly. Gently fold the lemon-coated apples into the cookie dough so they are evenly distributed.

Step 5: Portion and Bake Cookies

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop heaping tablespoonfuls (about 2 tablespoons each) of the cookie dough a few inches apart onto the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 11-13 minutes, or until the tops are set and edges are just beginning to turn golden.

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 6: Prepare Maple Glaze

While the cookies cool, prepare the maple glaze by whisking together the confectioners’ sugar, maple syrup, and milk in a small bowl until the mixture is creamy and smooth.

Step 7: Glaze and Serve Cookies

Once the cookies are fully cooled on the wire rack, place the rack over a sheet of parchment paper to catch any drips.

@Drizzle the maple glaze from Step 6 over each cookie, letting the glaze set before serving.
