Hi! Can I check if its baking powder (or is it baking soda?) for the recipe, as my cookies turned out quite cakey and I’m thinking it might be the baking powder.
Hi Jazz,
I used baking powder in this recipe. The consistency of the cookies will vary depending on the type of flour you use. If you want them more moist, you can add more butter or brown sugar to the recipe. Here is a great article that shares how to make cookies more moist and chewy. https://www.bobsredmill.com/blog/baking-101/how-to-make-chewy-cookies/
Warmly,
Ester
Is there something I can do to make this delicious cookie a little more of a crunch as you bite into it but still have the softness on the inside ?
You can bake them longer or add a tad more sugar.
Hi Ester,
I’m glad I can use my favorite Fuji Apple in this recipe 🙂 My kitchen will smell great once again.
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Jessica
