Description

A simple little recipe from my mother’s recipe files and a farewell to apples for a season.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE COOKIES:
  • ½ cups Butter, Softened
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar, Packed
  • 1 whole Egg
  • ¼ cups Milk
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoons Nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoons Cloves
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 2 cups Chopped Apple
  • _____
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • 1 Tablespoon Melted Butter
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • ¼ teaspoons Maple Flavoring
  • 2 Tablespoons Milk As Needed

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Cream butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl until light in color, about 1-2 minutes. Add egg and milk; stir to combine. Add remaining dry ingredients (except apple) and stir just until combined. Gently fold in the apples. Drop by heaping tablespoons onto a greased baking sheet.

Bake at 400F for about 10-12 minutes or until tops don’t look wet anymore.

To make the glaze, whisk together all glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Add a teaspoon or two of milk if you’d like the glaze thinner. When the cookies have cooled for a few minutes, drizzle each cookie with glaze.

Makes about 1 1/2 dozen.

Notes:
– To make glazing the cookies less messy, place a piece of plastic wrap under the cooling rack to catch the glaze dribbles. Just fold up the plastic wrap and toss into the garbage when you’re done. No messy countertop to wipe off and no extra pans to clean!

I was sooo sooo surprised to see this recipe! My Mom made these a lot and topped them with the maple glaze and chopped walnuts. She called them Apple Chip cookies. Thanks for posting them and bringing back the memories!

Love the recipe – I’m a nut so, of course, I would have to add walnuts! I love MAPLE anything and the glaze is perfect for these cookies. I’m tired of cookies with chocolate – that’s a lie – but the apple cookies are a lovely change of pace. I’m thinking the apple cookies w/o nuts would be delish with a scoop or two of Maple Nut Ice Cream!

These were absolutely delicious! I can’t imagine someone could ever dislike them. I did not have milk, so I used some of a bottle of vanilla Frappacino instead. Worked out great! I will definitely make this recipe again.

My husband didn’t like them, and I loved them. Go figure. I do think they need vanilla added to the batter. I would like to try them using maple sugar in both the cookie and the glaze. It seemed to me that the maple flavor didn’t really come through as strong as I’d hoped. Otherwise, I thought the texture was wonderful, and the spice blend just right.

These are wonderful. The only trouble I had was with the maple glaze. I used real maple syrup in it, which was fantastic. The problem I had was I added to much liquid in the form of almond milk and the glaze was really runny. Completely my fault for second guessing myself.

Just made these this morning for the first time! Took a chance and doubled the recipe! I did add a teaspoon of vanilla to the doubled recipe – and added chopped pecans. I did skimp on the maple flavoring in the glaze. BOTTOM LINE: They were very good. I thought perhaps the amount of liquid (milk) might be too much but it wasn’t. When I put them on the parchment paper, I didn’t flatten them at all – just left them as they come off the spoon. When they baked, they were a very nice shape. I made the glaze the consistency so that I just spread it over the cookie with a knife. It’s a cool day in Kansas this morning, so they will taste especially good, I think. Plan to share with neighbors. Thank you for the recipe.
