Everything you love about an apple pie in a soft, bite sized cookie.
I love October, and nothing captures that better than this apple pie cookies recipe.
But today, I won’t bore you with yet another fall rambling. A large banner on my calendar cuts through this week. It means no school. Draw the conclusion.
Usually we don’t travel during the week-long breaks as our longer breaks are full out. Winter is spent in India, while summer is dedicated to internships and fun programs. But my mom and I had the opportunity to visit Istanbul- Dad has some work stuff here. I’m more of an at-home person, and the idea of Istanbul alone probably wouldn’t lure me (Mom on the other hand is all about going to a new place), but even I can’t resist the luxury of a good hotel- that’s my idea of a real vacation.
Our hotel sits on the Bosphorus, so during the day, we can see the Asian side of Turkey, separated by a gleaming body of water. Mom was like, “I love being surrounded by a body of water!” and I’m like, “The human body is 90% water, so you’re technically a body of water”. So Pun-ny. Get it?
Have you ever been to Istanbul? What was your favorite part? I can’t pick. It’s a cool place with some downright delicious food.
Today’s recipe is not Middle Eastern- there’s no point toying with the perfection of dishes found here. But this here, is another example of perfection: an apple pie cookies recipe.
Soft apple pie cookies studded with white chocolate chips. I posted the video around a week and a half ago, and I apologise for not getting the recipe up sooner. I’ve been a little busy! These are everything you love about apple pie but in a cookie. Super easy to put together and, no doubt, the bomb-dot-com (do people still say that?).
DO refrigerate the dough, it makes forming balls a lot easier, and DO freeze the balls afterwards as they maintain a slightly thick and perfectly formed shape. Otherwise, you’ll end up with flatter cookies, that still taste yummy.
DO NOT overbake, unless you want a crispier cookie.
DO roll the cookies in a little extra cinnamon sugar, though this is optional. Rolling the cookie dough in cinnamon sugar results in a crisp, caramelised exterior with a burst of cinnamon. It’s worth it- trust me.
Okay, enough do’s and don’ts, time for my perfect apple pie cookies recipe.
Do you have extra apples lying around? Then I’ve got extra recipes for you to enjoy:
