Apple Butter Cookies 🍎

For the apple filling: 4 medium size sweet apples 3 tbsp of sugar 1 tsp cinnamon

For the dough: 150 g butter (at room temperature) 90 g of sugar 1 egg 1 packet of vanilla sugar or 1 tsp vanilla extract ½ tsp of baking powder 300 g plain flour

For covering the cookies: powdered sugar

Steps:

For the filling of the apple cookies, peel the apples and grate them into a suitable pan.
Add sugar, cinnamon and cook without adding anything else.
After apples have released their juices and all the juice is gone, turn off the stove and take the apples in a separate bowl to cool.
Knead the dough by adding butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, baking powder and flour slowly into a suitable bowl for our cookie dough. Ps: Add the flour slowly until the dough comes together in a non sticky texture.
Divide the kneaded dough into 3 parts and take 1 part and open it by flouring it from time to time with the help of a rolling pin.
Cut the dough into rounds with a cookie cutter (you can use a glass as I did).
Put 1 teaspoon of our apple filling into the dough and bring the edges together firmly.
Continue this process until all the dough isfilled with apple filling and take the shaped cookies to the (greased/cooking paper) tray.
Bake the cookies in the oven at 175°C for 20 minutes until they are slightly golden.
Sprinkle powdered sugar after the cookies are cooler. Enjoy!
