Try this for your apple filling instead...it keeps the bisuit dough from getting soggy....2/3 c. sugar, 1/3 c. all purpose flour, 1 Tbsp. cinnamon, pinch of salt, a dash of ground cloves. Mix this in a mixing bowl and place in the middle of the rolled out biscuit discs. Pinch the edges to seal them. Brush lightly with butter. Combine 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and 3 Tbsp of sugar and sprinkle it over the discs. Bake for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. See how that does for ya

First off, on the bad reviews for this particular recipe..one of the worst things you can do is use cheap products. This will cause taste variations and cooking consequences to turn out bad. I will give some advice...do not bake them for 9 minutes. Try them for 6 or 7 minutes. This will leave them soft and chewy. If your cookie dough is coming out like clay then try some variations like cutting down some of the flour. If it is pastey, add a tsp of milk. I myself had no problems with this recipe and found it to be very very good. Thank you so much for such a wonderful cookie.. It was excellent and we ate them up.
