My husband plays in a drop-in hockey league every Sunday night. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE to watch live sports, especially when my man is out there playing, but these nights home alone have turned into ME nights and I love them! Nothing better then a little quiet time to get the house in order before another busy week starts up. Usually this consists of something going into the oven while I find myself catching up on my girlie tv shows....
This past weekend while he was out I was in the mood for Snickerdoodle cookies, but I also had a couple of apples that were on the slightly soft side and needed to be baked into something. Ta Da! My now famous Appledoodle cookies! I included the recipe below. It's a must try ladies :)
And I must add that this plate of cookies went quite well with a little french pressed coffee!
Ingredients:
1 stick unsalted butter (8 Tbsp)
2/3 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 cups all purpose flour (I used wheat and they tasted just as yummy!)
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
dash of nutmeg
dash of cinnamon
2 small apples peeled, cored and diced small
Cinnamon/Sugar Mixture Ingredients:
Approx 1/2 cup sugar
Approx 3 Tbsp cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350F. In mixer, cream the butter on medium-high speed until it's soft, smooth and light.
Add sugars to butter and mix until combined. Add eggs to the mixture and beat well.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon. Mix well! Gently fold this into the creamed mixture. Then add in your diced apples and again gently fold. You don't want to over mix!
Form into balls of dough (I use one of those little cookie scoopers) and drop em into the cinnamon/sugar combo. I love cinnamon so I add a little bit more than the 3 Tbsp I listed in the recipe.
Bake in the oven for about 12 mins. They may need to cook a bit more/less depending on your oven. You will want them golden in color....they won't last long after they are out of the oven!
Enjoy!
