Chewy Apple Cookies

You GUYS!  I developed my very own cookie recipe!

I have to tell you that the texture is a teeny bit unsettling--- kind of like a muffin top-- but the flavor is pure fall.

Here's how you make them:

Preheat oven to 350 and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Core and chop (I used the processor) 6 small apples

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat 3 sticks of softened butter, 2 cups of brown sugar, and a cup of white sugar.  Add 3 teaspoons of vanilla and 3 eggs.  Next, add 4.5 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and your apples.  Finish up with 3 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice.

Sprinkle cookies with cinnamon sugar before baking.  Bake for about 9 minutes.

Voila!

FALL IN COOKIE FORM.  6 dozen cookies, actually.  Scale as you will.
