(From mycookiejourney.com)
Ingredients:
COOKIE DOUGH
- 1 cup Butter unsalted
- ½ cup Light brown sugar
- ½ cup Sugar white
- 3 TBSP Apple cider
- ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 ¾ cups All purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- ½ tsp Ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp Ground cloves
- ½ tsp All spice
- ¼ tsp Kosher Salt
- 1 Granny Smith apples diced
- ½ cup Raisins
- ½ cup Chopped walnuts
- Lemon juice To squeeze onto diced apple pieces
APPLE CIDER GLAZE
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 TBSP Apple cider
- ⅛ tsp Cinnamon
- ½ tsp All spice
Instructions:
- In a bowl, measure the flour, baking powder, salt, allspice, cinnamon, and ground cloves, run a whisk through to blend. Dice the Granny apple and squeeze the juice of ½ lemon on top to keep them from turning brown.
- In a mixer, blend the butter and sugars for a couple of minutes at medium speed. Add the apple cider and vanilla extract and mix. At lower speed, add the flour mixture about a third at a time until flour is incorporated, turn the mixer off. Add the diced apple, raisins, walnuts, and mix through by hand for about a minute. Wrap the top of the bowl with plastic wrap loosely and refrigerate for about ½ hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°. Using a medium cookie scoop, put 12 scoops onto a parchment-lined cookie pan and bake for 14-16 minutes. Leave the cookies on the pan for a minute or two before moving to a cooling rack.
- For apple cider glaze, combine powdered sugar, apple cider, cinnamon, and allspice and mix until smooth consistency. After the cookies have cooled, take ½ teaspoon of glaze and drizzle over each cookie.
