Glazed Apple Spice Cookies Recipe

Scratch-Baked Glazed Apple Spice Cookies- This is the perfect early autumn cookie!These Glazed Apple Spice Cookies are a wonderfully delicious, made soft and cake-like by the apple, that highlights the warm spicy flavors that embody fall baking. (Especially, if you get bored with pumpkin cookies. But that’s a big “if.”)

The spices in these cookies are balanced perfectly by the sweet glaze. Be sure that when you’re done glazing all of the cookies, to lift the rack and sample the drippings! Then quickly call the kids in to help lest you be tempted to do more than a sample.

And tempted you will be, especially if you stop to think about how, for a cookie, they swing a wee bit to the healthier side… low sugar, includes fruit and nuts, you could even take it a step further and use half whole wheat flour and they would still turn out pretty tasty. Is it just me or are Apple Spice Cookies sounding almost as healthy as Whole Grain Harvest Apple Butter Cake? Or even Apple Pie!

I think I’ve just talked myself into baking dessert for breakfast tomorrow…

Adding homegrown and farm-fresh foods to dessert really makes me happy! I’ve even written a couple cookbooks centered on the theme. In Cake Stand and Farmstead Pie, I share all of our families favorite, tried-and-true cake and pie recipes. Ingredients that can be grown or made right on the homestead are incorporated into each delicious dessert! It’s the perfect way to showcase all your hard work in the garden and on the farm when it’s time to celebrate and rejoice over the little or big things in life!

    They are really good- the worst part about making them is opening the spice cupboard and smelling the garlic powder, but that may be a personal problem I’m hanging in there and looking forward to getting on the other side of this thing in the next week or so.

    Thanks for asking! It’s really sweet of you!

    These are delicious! THanks for sharing… I modified it a bit for a breakfast bar. I switched the flour to 1 c. oatmeal, 1 c. whole wheat flour. We had food allergy to egg, so I replaced it with a banana and cut the sugar by 1/2 or more. The kids loved it both ways and it’s a recipe I’ll make over and over again! THanks!
