Ingredients
- 1 apple (Honeycrisp or any other red variety) peeled and seeded
- 6 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200 ml olive oil
- 100 grams / 3.5 oz walnuts
- 500-550 grams / 17.6 oz all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Chop apple into very small pieces.
- Heat a non-stick pan over high heat.
- Add the apple and cook for 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften. Cover with water and reduce heat to medium. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until water evaporates.
- Transfer apple in a mixing bowl and stir in all of the remaining ingredients except the flour and walnuts.
- In a food processor blend walnuts in order to look finely chopped. Save 4-5 tablespoons to sprinkle on top of the cookies and add the remaining walnuts into the mixing bowl as well.
- Gradually add the flour while mixing the dough with your hands. It should feel really soft and oily without sticking to your hands.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Take a large piece of parchment paper and lay it open on your working surface. Divide dough in half and shape each part into a ball.
- Place one dough ball on the center of the parchment paper and cover it with another large piece of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough until it's approximately ½ cm (⅛-inch) thick. Sprinkle some of the remaining blended walnuts on top and gently push with your hands to make them stick on the dough.
- With a round cookie cutter cut dough into round cookies and transfer them to a parchment-covered baking sheet. Do this with the other piece of dough. Re-rolling as needed to cut out more cookies.NOTE: Since these are soft cookies (and their dough not so dense as it's with classic hard cookies) you may need to use a flat spatula to transfer them to the baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until cookies get crisp all around the edges and soft on top.
- Transfer cookies to a cooling rack.
- Store in a sealed container for 3-4 days or in a cooking tin for up to a week.
