These were pretty good. It's a nice recipe to use up leftover apples that aren't going to get eaten.

This was pretty good. I only used half the sugar because I added a cinnamon spice drizzle on top, which made it just sweet enough. I only used 4 Tbls. of butter instead of 1/2 cup shortening. I also added 1 tsp. cinnamon powder as suggested by another member. I think I would double the apple next time because I really couldn't taste any. The batter is very dry until the apples are added, then it becomes more like a drop batter. I used parchment instead of a greased cookie sheet and it worked fine.

Way tooooo sweet! The batter spread out too much and the cookies burned around the edges. They were not done in the middle. I was Very disappointed in the recipe.

Very good. I enjoyed them very much. I did, however, use 1/3 C sugar less. They turned out rather nice. :)

These cookies are like taking a bite of cake. They are wonderfully light and fluffy. I substituted butter flavored shortening for the regular shortening.

I agree easy to make, but we found there was not much taste, bland, I to like the other reader used 1/3 less sugar. Sorry but we did not like this.

WAY too sweet! I added 2 tsp of cake spice (a milder version of pumpkin spice...from Penzeys) to give it some flavour. I just could not get past the sweetness to decide if I like it. I may try it again with 1/3 of the sugar.

I needed a cookie to take to the assisted living facility where my grandma lives. I chose these because they were different. I omited the walnuts and added 1 cup of cinnamon chips. They were wonderful. The ladies are still raving about these cookies. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

I liked this recipe. I do think I will add a little cinnamon next time just for a little more zip. To me, cinnamon and apples compliment each other. A soft cookie, don't keep tightly closed.
