• 100 g butter, room temperature

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

makes about 13 large cookies

Remove the eggs from the refrigerator. Measure the butter and cut it into pieces. Let it stand at room temperature. Beat the eggs with a whisk or a mixer until fluffy. Add the sugar and vanilla or vanilla sugar and continue beating. I prefer vanilla sugar for cookies because the real vanilla in the batter shows up as black dots. Add a pinch of salt and the softened butter and mix well. Mix the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl and slowly stir into the batter. Preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat). Wash the apples, peel them if necessary, and remove the cores. Cut them into slices or small cubes and fold them into the batter. Line a baking sheet with baking paper and, using two tablespoons, place the cookies on the baking sheet. The cookies should be about 5-6 cm in diameter, or less if you prefer smaller ones. Leave about 2 cm between each cookie. Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack for about 25 minutes. They are done when the edges are light golden brown. The baking time varies depending on the oven and the size of the cookie. Small cookies need about 20 minutes; I baked my large ones for around 25 minutes. Mix the powdered sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle over the cooled cookies. For those who don’t like cinnamon, there are alternatives: just powdered sugar or mix powdered sugar with vanilla sugar. Note: The cookies are super easy to make and perfect for a snack. I got 13 large cookies out of them. They also keep very well in the cookie jar. And the recipe is easy to adapt; if you like, you can mix blueberries into the batter instead of apples, for example.
