Christmas Cookies: Baked Apple and Cinnamon Cookies
The perfect christmas cookies: baked apple and cinnamon cookies recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.
To soak the sultanas (please note beforehand: soaking time approx. 3 hours):
- 100 g Sultanas
- 100 ml Orange juice
- 1 Vials Taste of rum
- 1 Sachets Vanilla sugar
The baked apple and almond mixture:
- 2 middle Apples
- 70 g Chopped almonds
- 10 g Butter
The dough:
- 140 g Soft butter
- 150 g Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 175 g Flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Cinammon
- Baking wafers, diameter 50 mm
Aside from that:
- Parchment paper
- Put the sultanas in a bowl. Mix the orange juice, rum flavor and vanilla sugar well and pour over the sultanas. Let soak for about three hours.
- After the three hours of soaking, drain the sultanas well in a sieve. Peel the apples, cut out the core and cut the flesh into small pieces. Heat the butter in a pan. Fry the apples and chopped almonds in it for about 5-7 minutes, until the almonds are lightly browned. Let the mixture cool down.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (top and bottom heat). Whisk the butter and sugar with the hand mixer, then add the egg and stir in. Mix the flour, baking powder and cinnamon, pour in and stir until a smooth dough is formed.
- Carefully fold the sultanas and the apple and almond mixture into the batter. Put approx. 1 slightly heaped teaspoon of dough on each baking plate and smooth it out a little. Place the wafers a little apart on a baking sheet lined with baking paper (the dough runs a little during baking). Bake the cookies on the middle rack for about 20 minutes.
- Approx. Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet (the biscuits are still quite soft when they come straight out of the oven). Then carefully remove from the baking paper and let cool down completely on a wire rack.
- For storage, I recommend layering the biscuits not one on top of the other, but side by side in a tin and then placing a layer of parchment or baking paper in between. This prevents the cookies from sticking together. Otherwise, keep it airtight and slightly chilled. The shelf life is limited to a few days by the apples, but since the cookies taste really good, they certainly don’t get old with us ;-)))). Have fun baking and have a nice Advent season.
