APPLE BUTTER COOKIES



Apple Butter Cookies image

My mother used to bake these mouthwatering cookies for an after-school treat. Though it's been 55 years since I first found out about them, I still savor the smell that fills the house as these cookies bake. They stay moist and fresh for a long time, or the dough can be stored in the refrigerator for several days so you can bake as you need them.-Dorothy Hawkins, Springhill, Florida

APPLE SPICE COOKIES

Provided by Wanna Make This?

Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield 10 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon apple pie spice
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 to 2 small apples, cored and cut into thin rounds (about 1/8-inch thick)
1/4 cup gold sanding sugar or coarse sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place the butter and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until combined, about 2 minutes. Add the maple syrup, vanilla and egg. Beat on medium speed until homogenous, about 1 minute more.
  • Whisk together the flour, apple pie spice, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Pour half of the dry ingredients into the butter mixture and beat on low speed until combined. Repeat with the remaining dry ingredients until a loose, wet dough comes together. Allow the dough to rest for about 10 minutes in the refrigerator; it will thicken slightly as the flour becomes hydrated.
  • Using a 3-tablespoon size scoop, make large mounds of dough on the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 3 inches of space between each cookie. Place an apple ring on top of each mound and press gently down to secure. Generously sprinkle each apple slice with sanding sugar.
  • Bake the cookies until deeply golden brown, about 15 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through the baking time. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack.
