Top Tips

Making the Ultimate Apple Pie Cookies couldn’t be easier, but there are a few tips that will make these cheery cookies perfect every time.

Butter – Always allow your butter to come to room temperature. This will ensure your cookie dough mixes easily while helping the dry ingredients remain clump free.
Portion – use a scoop to help divide your cookie dough into equal sized portions. Not only will this give your cookies a pretty, uniform appearance, but it will also ensure they all bake up evenly.
Parchment Paper – Lining your baking sheet with parchment paper will prevent them from sticking to your pans. In addition, it also helps the bottoms of the cookies brown and bake evenly.
