Instructions
COOKIE DOUGH
- In a bowl, weigh or measure both sugars and set aside. In another bowl, weigh or measure the flour, baking powder, salt, allspice, cinnamon, and ground cloves. Run a whisk through to blend. Quarter, core, peel, and dice the Granny Smith apple, then squeeze a little lemon juice on top to prevent browning.
- Cream the butter on medium mixer speed for a minute or two. Add the sugars and mix for 3 minutes on medium speed. Pour in the apple cider and vanilla extract, then mix until combined. Reduce the mixer speed and add the flour mixture about a third at a time. Once all the flour is incorporated, turn off the mixer. Scrape down the sides and across the bottom of the bowl to catch any stray flour.
- Add the diced apple, raisins, and walnuts, then mix on low speed for about 15 seconds. Use a spatula to evenly distribute the mix-ins. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C–180°C). Using a medium cookie scoop, place 12 scoops of dough onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake for 14–16 minutes. Leave the cookies on the pan for 1 minute before transferring them to a cooling rack.
APPLE CIDER GLAZE
- After the cookies have cooled, combine the powdered sugar, apple cider, cinnamon, and allspice in a bowl. Whisk until smooth. Using a ½ teaspoon, drizzle the glaze back and forth over each cookie.
