Cinnamon Glaze
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 1/2 - 3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cover the baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger. Using a mixer on medium, cream butter, and sugar until light and fluffy. Turn the mixer to low and add the egg mixing just until incorporated. Blend in the flour mixture in 3 intervals mixing just until incorporated. Turn off the mixer and stir in apples, walnuts, oats, and raisins. Drop by rounded tablespoons about 1 1/2 - 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes or until baked through and lightly browned. After 5 minutes, remove to cookie cooling racks.
- Once the cookies are fully cooled, mix together the powdered sugar, cinnamon, and milk. Add the milk a little bit at a time until you have reached optimum consistency. Drizzle over fully-cooled cookies.
Notes
- Always preheat the oven and bake the cookies in the center of the oven on the middle rack.
- Cover the baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Make the first batch a test run and bake one or two cookies. This will help establish baking time.
- I grate the apple for these cookies but you can also finely dice it.
- If you don't like raisins omit them or substitute dried cranberries.
- The cinnamon drizzle needs to set for several hours on the cookies before they can be stacked.
- If desired pecans can be subbed for the walnuts.
- Store these cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
