- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups grated or chopped apples
- 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
For Apple Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar-butter mixture and mix until well combined.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until well combined.
- Fold in the grated or chopped apples.
- Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet using a cookie scoop, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For Cream Cheese Frosting
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk, and beat until well combined.
- If the frosting is too thick, add additional milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Tips
- Use good quality apples for the best flavor.
- Make sure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for easier mixing.
- You can use a food processor to grate the apples for a finer texture.
- If you do not have a cookie scoop, you can use a spoon to drop the dough onto the baking sheet.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
