I made three batches of these cookies!! They were great tasting and fairly easy to make! The second time around, I didn't chop the apples as fine. When you bit into the cookie you had the raisins and chunks of apple! Yum!

Yum! I used half butter and half shortening, just cause I'm a butter nut! Left raisins out, but added nuts. Grated apple. Very yummy!

These cookies tastes great! The only thing I would do is wait a little longer to glaze them. I also used butter instead of shortening and I ran out of brown sugar, so I used 1 cup of brown and 1/3 white sugar. But it was all still good!

These cookies are SO GOOD!! I used white whole wheat flour & left out the nuts. The cookies would be great without the glaze if you wanted to cut some sugar but after trying a cookie before I glazed them & then another after, the glaze really made the cookies! AWESOME recipe! I am taking some to family tonight.

400 degrees for 10 minutes left me with burned, back bottoms. This definetely needs more apple as well. Cook at 375 for 8 minutes.

These were certainly good, but I think they could use more apples. It tasted more like a spice cookie. Very easy to make, though, and very soft.

I made these for my daughter's class apple tasting event. I left out the nuts and used butter (I avoid working with shortening if I can). I shredded the apples so I could squeeze the ever living daylights out of them so the dough didn't end up too watery. I don't know what size cookies these are supposed to be that it only makes 18, but I got 3 normal sized cookies short of 5 dozen. They're good. Definately sweet enough without the icing.

I thought these were really great cookies. They are very moist. I don't like a hard cookie. I left out the nuts and the raisins. I don't really like nutty cookies unless its macadamia and the husband and I hate raisins so I don't stock them in the pantry. We had just gone to the apple orchard and wanted something to make that wasn't pie and I found these. I subbed smart balance for the shortening, and once I got down to adding the last dry ingredients it seemed already more moist than most cookie batters so I left out the milk completely. I was too lazy to dig all the spices out of the cabinet and allspice was right in front so I used a tsp of that with a tsp of cinnamon. I decreased the temp to 375 per some reviewers but that increased the time to about 13-15 minutes. I used a maple glaze instead of the one that was written because I had just made the maple-drizzled apple muffins from this site and really like the maple glaze so I used that and it was really good with the spicy apple flavor of the cookies. for the glaze it was: 1 cup powdered sugar, 4 tablespoons maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. These are a hit with me and when my husband gets home we'll see how he likes them. It's an nice break from chocolate chip cookies I usually make :)

I didn't change a thing other than not having icing sugar on hand, so I skipped the icing. They were great and "tasted just like fall". They kept a long time in a sealed container as well.

I made these cookies for a Thanksgiving potluck at my daughter's school. They were all eaten and the kids loved them. I did not put the glaze on and it was not missed.

de-lish-ous! i, too, swapped out the shortening for softened butter & omitted the frosting! fabulous cookies but don't be fooled that they're healthy just because they contain apples; there is more sugar than apples in this recipe! i would make them again!

As a shameless junk food junkie, I left out the walnuts and raisins and added in butterscotch chips. They were terrific! I took the advice of other reviewers and grated the apples instead of chopping them. Be careful not to make them too big (I found teaspoon-sized drops were best), or they'll get too flat and floppy. And if you're not a sugar fanatic, make sure you go easy on the glaze, it was a bit over the top even for me. These stay good and moist for a long time, too.

Very good, I used 2 large granny smith apples coarsley grated, margarine instead of shortening and used whole wheat flour and about 1/2 cup quick oats to make it healthier, the icing is nice but I just did a thin drizzle to keep the sweetness down.

These were delicious, although it was not quite what I was looking for in an apple cookie. Still, I brought them to a friend's house and they disappeared! They have just the right amount of spice. Remember to chop the apples VERY finely, even chunks will stick out unattractively.
