How to Make Apple Cookies

Indulge in the taste of autumn with our Healthy Apple Cinnamon Cookies. Made with a blend of heartwarming spices and wholesome ingredients, these cookies are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without derailing your health goals.

Wholesome Ingredients

To start, gather all your dry ingredients. You’ll need white whole wheat flour, baking powder and an array of spices including cinnamon, ground ginger, allspice, nutmeg, cardamom and ground cloves. These spices lend a warm, comforting flavor to the cookies, making them a perfect treat for the colder months.

Next, you’ll need to combine your wet ingredients. Melt coconut oil and mix it with a room temperature egg, vanilla extract and coconut sugar. The coconut oil helps keep the cookies moist, while the coconut sugar is an alternative to traditional refined sugar.

Once you’ve mixed your dry and wet ingredients separately, it’s time to combine them. Fold in nonfat milk to make the dough soft and pliable. Last but not least, add peeled and diced apples. The fresh apples add a delightful crunch and natural sweetness that pairs perfectly with the warm spices.

Refrigerate, Bake and Enjoy

Before you start baking, refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes. This step is crucial as it allows the flavors to meld together and gives the cookies their signature soft, chewy texture. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees and scoop out one to two tablespoons of dough for each cookie. Roll the dough into a ball and place it on a baking sheet.

Bake your apple cinnamon cookies for 15 minutes. Once they’re golden brown, let them cool before serving. The result? Soft, chewy and deliciously spiced apple cinnamon cookies that are as healthy as they are tasty. Enjoy these guilt-free treats any time of the day!
