Ingredients

Cookies

1 ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
½ cup salted butter 1 stick, melted
1 large egg
¼ cup milk
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp ground cloves
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp salt
1 cup walnuts chopped
¾ cup raisins
1 cup apple finely chopped- HoneyCrisp, Fugi or Gala work well!

Icing

½ cup powdered sugar
1-2 tsp hot water

Instructions

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Chop the apple into small chunks, set aside.
In a large bowl whisk the brown sugar and butter until creamy. Add the milk and egg, mix again.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ground cloves, nutmeg, and salt.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and stir to combine. Fold in the chopped walnuts, raisins, and apple chunks and gently mix to combine.
Place rounded dough balls about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies are slightly browned around the edge. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
Prepare the icing by whisking the powdered sugar with hot water until smooth. Once the cookies have cooled, drizzle with icing. Cool to set. Serve & enjoy!

Notes

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 5-7 days. Avoid refrigerating, as this can dry them out quickly.

For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a sealed bag they will last up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving to restore their texture.
