For a richer flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the apple mixture. Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and nutty flavor. A drizzle of caramel sauce or a dusting of powdered sugar makes a beautiful and delicious finishing touch. Store the baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
3 mins
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and baking powder. This ensures a light and airy texture for the cookies. (3 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and egg until well combined. Stir in the grated apples, cinnamon, and cloves until evenly distributed. (5 minutes)
04
Step
5 mins
Add the softened butter to the apple mixture and blend with a fork or pastry blender until a coarse, crumbly mixture forms. This step creates pockets of buttery goodness within the cookies. (5 minutes)
05
Step
5 mins
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough cookies. The batter will be thick and slightly sticky. (5 minutes)
06
Step
5 mins
Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. (5 minutes)
07
Step
12 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set. (10-12 minutes)
08
Step
10 mins
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)
