Apple Spice Cookies

Do you have memories of food that touches all of your senses and brings you back to a time you associate with family and comfort? For me, that would be these apple spice cookies. I recall that my mom would make these often, all throughout the year, but especially when their apple trees were full of fruit in the fall.

I have been going through mom’s extensive recipe collection to organize, protect and preserve them, and much to my delight I found this recipe! Truth be told, I do not know who gave her this recipe but I do know that my mom made these cookies for the longest time and I thought it would be great to share with you.

It didn’t matter which apples she had on hand to use but when I make them I always choose golden delicious. I have vivid memories of the apple trees in my parent’s garden and how awesome it was to pluck a golden or red delicious apple off the tree and eat it right on the spot.

For as long as I can remember, this apple tree in my parent’s garden grew leaning back so as to “show off” it’s abundant fruit production. A beautiful reminder of precious moments spent together in the backyard with mom and dad.

When these cookies are baking, your house smells amazing and my family know’s exactly what I am making!

I love their spiciness and for sure it’s hard to eat just one! They come together easily and yield quite a few.

Give them a try. I hope you love them as much as I do!
