Ingredients
  

For the cookie dough
  • 2 pieces eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 7 tbsp butter, room temperature
  • 2 3/4 cups flour
  • 2 pieces apples, chopped Use apples that hold their shape when baked, like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon For flavor enhancement.
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla Adds aroma and enhances flavors.
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Powdered sugar for serving For a light dusting on top.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with sugar and vanilla until light, pale, and fluffy.
  2. Add the room-temperature butter and continue whisking until fully incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture to form a thick and smooth cookie dough.
  5. Gently stir in the chopped apples until well mixed.
Baking
  1. Spoon generous dollops of dough onto a parchment-lined baking pan, spacing them out to allow for spreading.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake for about 20 minutes, until golden and fragrant.

Notes

These cookies are best enjoyed warm, with a dusting of powdered sugar on top. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days.
