*G*lazed Apple Cookies

Welcome to Day 7, "G" in the A-Z Blogging Challenge!  :-)

One of my family's absolute favorite cookies are my *G*lazed Apple cookies.  They are the most requested out of my cookie repertoire.  I'd like to share them with you today.


Cookie Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening
1 1/3 cups packed brown sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup+  of apples (peeled, cored and finely diced)
1 teaspoon baking soda

Glaze Ingredients:
1/3 cup softened butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 tablespoons milk

Beat shortening and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.  Beat in egg and beat thoroughly. Stir together flour, soda, cinnamon and nutmeg.  Stir 1/2 of the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture. Stir in apples, then stir in remaining 1/2 of the dry ingredients and milk.  Mix well.  Drop from tablespoon 1 1/2 inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheet.  Bake in 400 degree oven for 10-12 minutes.  Remove cookies to rack and while still warm, spread with glaze.  :-)

I hope your family enjoys them as much as mine does!
