This recipe has been in my recipe box for years so I'm not sure where it came from. They're a nice, light cookie that is similar to a snickerdoodle. Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup shortening |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
1 large red delicious apple, peeled & grated |
2 cups flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cream together sugar, shortening & vanilla.
3. Add in grated apple.
4. Sift together dry ingredients.
5. Add gradually to creamed mixture, combining thoroughly.
6. *If dough appears slightly dry and doesn't come together, let it sit for a few minutes to allow the sugar to pull the juice from the apples.
7. Roll in walnut-sized balls and roll in mixture of 2 Tbsp sugar, 1/2 tsp nutmeg and 1/4 tsp cinnamon.
8. Bake 8-10 minutes on aluminum foil or parchment, until cookies are golden brown and appear crackled.
9. Let cool on cookie sheet 4-5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
