Ingredients

Servings

• 150 gram Butter
• 150 gram Brown sugar
• 2 unit Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 250 gram All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 unit Apples
• 100 gram Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoon Milk
• 100 gram Cream cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool.
3. In a mixing bowl, cream together the brown sugar and cooled brown butter until well combined.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
6. Peel and grate the apples, then fold them into the batter.
7. Drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each dough mound slightly with the back of a spoon.
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. In another small bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the bottom side of half of the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies to make sandwich cookies.
10. Dust the tops of the cookies with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
