- Allow the mix to rest for 10 minutes before forming into cookies. After the mix has rested, use a ¼ cup spring-loaded cookie scoop to scoop mix onto prepared baking sheet. Cookies will not spread when baked, so lightly flatten/shape each cookie with your hands. (If you don't have a spring-loaded cookie scoop, a measuring cup or large spoon will work just find-just be sure to form the cookies with your hands).
- Repeat above step until all cookie mix has been used (you should get 12 cookies).
- Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until edges are lightly brown and center of cookies are set.
- Cookies will continue to set as they cool. Allow to cool on baking sheet before removing from pan. Enjoy!
Notes
- Finely chop the apples so that they can more easily be incorporated into the cookie mix. Larger pieces don't work as well.
