Glazed Apple Cookies are AMAZING!!! They are unbelievably scrumptious, soft, gooey, and chewy! My family devoured quite a few while they were still warm and it was extremely difficult to walk away! They have apples and raisins in them, so they are good for you, right? Of course! I like to take a plate of treats across the street to our friends and they were so glad I took over these cookies. They LOVED them! Glazed Apple Cookies are a perfect fall treat and I will be making them several times this season!

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 1/3 cups packed light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 cup apples peeled, cored, and finely diced
- 1 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

- In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg

- Stir in apples and raisins, then stir in remaining half of dry ingredients and milk
- Mix well
- Drop batter (from about a big tablespoon) 2 inches apart onto a lightly greased baking sheet
- Bake for 10-12 minutes (I did 8-9 minutes because we like them soft and they were perfect)

- Remove cookies and put on cooling racks
- Spread glaze on warm cookies
- Enjoy
