Spiced apple cookies that everyone loves! I’ve been making these for about 25 years, and never met anyone yet who didn’t like them.
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups packed brown sugar
- ½ cup butter
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (Optional)
- 1 cup apples – peeled, cored and finely diced
- 1 cup raisins
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 ½ cups sifted confectioners' sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ tablespoons half-and-half cream
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2
Beat brown sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; beat in egg until combined.
Step 3
Combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg in a separate bowl.
Step 4
Stir 1/2 of the flour mixture into brown sugar mixture. Stir in nuts, apple and raisins, then stir in remaining flour mixture and milk. Mix well.
Step 5
Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove cookies to racks to cool slightly while you make the glaze.
Step 6
To make the glaze: Beat powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and enough cream to make glaze of spreading consistency. Spread or drizzle on warm cookies.
