How to Make Apple Spice Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1/2 cup apple juice.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 2 cups peeled and chopped apples and 1 cup chopped pecans.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. (Start checking at 12 minutes).
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
