Equipment
- 1 Large Mixing Bowl
- 1 Electric whisk/stand mixer
- 1 Peeler
- 1 Spatula
- 1 Weighting scales
- 1 Chopping board
- Usual Kitchen Utensils
Ingredients
- 180 g Soft Brown Sugar
- 100 g Butter (softened)
- 2 Granny Smith Apples (peeled and chopped)
- 1/2 tsp Ground Nutmeg
- 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Vanilla essence
- 1 Egg
- 12 Toffee sweets These work wonderfully for older children. However, if you are cooking for younger children, I recommend an alternative like fudge as the toffees are chewy!
- 250 g Plain Flour
Instructions
- To start, Preheat the oven to 180 c, and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Next peel both apples and chop into small squares, before covering with a clean paper towel to soak up residual moisture (I tend to pat the paper towel over the apple).
- Next beat together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer.
- Add the egg to the butter and sugar and beat again until well combined.
- Then, stir in the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, vanilla essence, baking powder and salt until combined.
- Next add in the chopped apples (ensuring that residual moisture has been soaked up) and use a spatula to gently fold into the mixture.
- Using a scoop or your hands to gently create 12 balls of mixture and place onto the lined baking tray.
- Then use the palm of your hand to flatten each ball of mixture.
- Unwarp each toffee and then gently nestle one toffee into the centre of each cookie (you may need to press on the toffee to ensure it is nestled properly!).
- Then place in the pre-heated oven and cook for 10-15 minutes (you may like to check on the cookies halfway through cooking and using the back of the spoon press each toffee to help it melt!).
- Leave to cool before sharing these wonderful cookies around the table with the family!
Notes
Keep these Cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
