Cream Cheese: Be sure to use full-fat cream cheese and that it’s at room temperature.You’ll just need two large bowls!Ĭream filling is literally what turns cookies into… well, cream pies! Here’s what you’ll need to make it: These cookies bake at 350 degrees and are so easy! No electric mixer needed. I definitely put more cookies than this than seen below, but I only put a few here so you can really see what they should look like before and after baking! If the sizes vary, you can always weigh them to ensure you use the same amount called for. Baked Crunchy Apple Chips: I suggest the baked brand, but use whatever variety you can find.
Eggs: Be sure to use large eggs, and bring them to room temperature before use.Vanilla Extract: As always, I suggest using real pure vanilla not imitation or artificial.Apple Butter: Adds even more apple flavor! And makes the cookies moist and chewy.Molasses: Adds flavor and gives the cookies their signature chewy texture.But note this change will alter the color and texture slightly I don’t suggest subbing granulated sugar. Sugar: Dark brown sugar is my recommendation, but light brown sugar may be used if that’s what you have on hand.You’ll brown the butter, which enhances the flavor x10! Butter: Unsalted works best, but salted butter may be used in a pinch.If you use salted butter, omit this ingredient. Salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances the other flavors in the cookies.Baking Soda: Make sure yours is fresh! Helps the cookies spread.If you prefer, you may sub 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of apple pie spice instead.
Spices: Cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and ground all-spice make up our homemade apple pie spice blend.
