Preparing the Cookie Dough
At this stage, cool the melted butter and mix it in a suitable bowl with brown sugar, egg, and vanilla. Use a hand mixer to blend the ingredients well until smooth. Then, gradually add the mixture of flour, baking powder, and salt to the cookie batter and mix until fully combined. Finally, add the cooled caramelized apples to the mixture and stir with a spatula until combined.
Baking the Cookies; The Joy of Waiting
To bake the cookies, take a tablespoon of the dough and shape it into a ball, placing it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Then sprinkle a mixture of sugar and cinnamon powder over the cookies. Place the tray in the freezer for 30 minutes, then bake it in an oven preheated to 180 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes. After baking, let the cookies cool for 15 minutes before serving.
To prevent the cookies from drying out, be careful not to over-knead the dough and pay attention to the proportions of the ingredients. Brown sugar plays an important role in keeping the cookies soft and fluffy, so don’t overlook it. Also, the secret to cracked cookies lies in the cold dough and high oven temperature, so make sure to preheat the oven well before placing the cookie tray inside.
Storing the Cookies; Long-lasting Enjoyment
You can store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 6 to 7 days and about 10 to 12 days in the refrigerator. Additionally, you can store the cookie dough raw in the refrigerator for up to a week and about 2 to 3 months in the freezer, provided it is in an airtight container.
