Apple Cookies
Apple cookies are one of our favorite cookies. The apple flavor is good and the spices of cinnamon and nutmeg make them exceptional. To put the flavor over the top, we like to add a delicious vanilla glaze to coat them. Really good, they also make your house smell nice when they are baking.
