Butterscotch Apple Cookies

Found this recipe to make for a party. My grandma used to make these for me. Love love them! They were so soft and moist and were a hit at the party. I made some with and some without walnuts and both were good. Protip if you want to pipe on the glaze use the bag from your butcherscotch chips. Fill it with the glaze and snip one of the corners. I originally tried to use a plastic bag but it kept popping. I don’t have real piping bags so the bag from my butterscotch worked great and did not bust :)

I didn't have any apple juice, but tried the recipe anyway since some of the reviewers wrote that they didn't use juice. The dough seemed a little dry, so I added apple cider instead. Several reviewers also mentioned that their cookies didn't have much apple taste, so I chopped the apples instead of grating them to try to have more apple flavor. Still don't taste the apples, but the cookies are really good. Hubby likes them! If I make them again, I think I would double the amount of apples. I did not add walnuts on top of the glaze and ran out of glaze, but definitely preferred the glazed cookies to the ones that were not glazed. Be careful applying the glaze - I was holding the cookie and accidentally got the hot glaze on my finger. Ouch! Overall, very tasty recipe!

Soooo good. I followed the recipe exactly as is and it was super good. Moist and flavorful cookies. The cookies themselves weren't too sweet, but the glaze is what put them over the top. I made a batch with and without glaze to take them to a party, so those with less of a sweet tooth could choose between the two. They seemed to be a hit.

This is a good cookie. However, the chunks of apple remain gooey even after cooking, which means this cookie won't keep long before getting...oozey. (Not sure that's a word...) You will be tempted to add more flour to the dough--it isn't necessary to do so. I resisted the urge to add oats or more flour to the dough, and it wound up working out fine. All in all, I'd probably use my apples in other desserts in the future, but I'm glad I tried these :)

Let me start off with saying that I am almost 4 months pregnant. I am so picky right now that I pretty much have to go to the sotre to buy my meals on the spot because nothing ever sounds good that i have in the house. Anyhow, my fiance loves oatmeal cookies, so I looked up a recipe on this site and made some since I couldn't find my usual recipe (they weren't very good, btw). Anyhow, after flipping through a lot of cookie recipes I stumbled across this one, but had to bookmark it for later since my mission was oatmeal cookies. I came back to it a couple days later, after my fiance with his sympathy cravings (HAH!) ate all the others. I am so happy I made these! Even though my fiance ended up eating most of them, when I did get a chance to sit down and eat one it really hit the spot.. and that's a lot coming from my picky self. I wasn't so sure about the glaze after reading other reviews and ended up halving the glaze recipe and just drizzling a little over the cookies. I liked this recipe so much, I even whipped out my camera and took a picture. (how rediculous is it that I squeeled when i saw my pic had been posted for the recipe? ..Silly hormones..) I think next time will add extra apple and maybe use raisans.
