Johnny Appleseed Cookies image

There are a great filled cookie like ones my grandmother made. I use my homemade apple butter for filling, but, as I remember, my grandmother filled them with other types of fruit jam. My kids loved to take these in their school lunches! Make sure to include chilling time for dough!

I'm allergic to apples, so I had to substitute another fruit. I used pears and they turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't look anything like the pictures. They were flat and brown.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies didn't turn out very well. They were dry and crumbly.

I'm not a big fan of apples, but I actually really liked these cookies. The apple flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover apples. I always have a few apples that are about to go bad, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in.

These cookies are a delightful treat! They have a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, and the apple flavor really shines through. I especially love the addition of cinnamon and nutmeg, which gives them a warm and inviting aroma.
