When shaping the cookies, you’ll need to keep your fingers damp with water to prevent them from sticking to the batter. Since this recipe doesn’t use baking soda or baking powder, you won’t have to worry about the cookies rising or spreading in the oven.
To bake, place your cinnamon apple cookies in the oven for about ten minutes, or until they’re golden brown. After removing from the oven, leave them on the baking sheet for a few extra minutes to set. This will help them firm up in the center and create the perfect cookie texture!
Enjoy your thick and chewy cookies warm with a cup of tea or coffee in the morning. You can refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week, or in the freezer for up to one month.
