Ingredients:
- 4 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- 2 medium-sized apples
- 1 cup water
Instructions:
-
Preheat: Begin by preheating your oven to 325ยฐF (163ยฐC). ๐ก๏ธ
-
Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, cornmeal, cinnamon, eggs, and water. Stir well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and start forming a dough-like consistency. ๐ฅฃ
-
-
Add the Apples: Grate the apples and add them into the mixture. The grated apple adds natural sweetness and a fruity flavor to the cookies. ๐
-
Knead the Dough: Once the apples are mixed in, knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until it comes together into a cohesive ball. This step ensures even distribution of ingredients and a consistent texture. ๐ช
-
Roll Out the Dough: Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Use a rolling pin to achieve an even thickness throughout. ๐
-
Score the Dough: Using a straight edge, score the dough horizontally and vertically to create a grid of 3/4-inch squares. Take care not to cut all the way through the dough; this makes it easier to break the cookies apart later. ๐
-
Prepare the Baking Sheet: Lightly grease a baking sheet to prevent the cookies from sticking during baking. ๐ช
-
Place the Cookies: Carefully transfer the scored dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow for expansion while baking. โฉ
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 1 hour, or until they are golden brown and crisp. The low temperature ensures gentle baking, preserving the flavors and nutrients in the ingredients. โฐ
-
Cool and Store: Once baked, allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, transfer them to a storage container or ziplock bag and refrigerate. Proper storage helps maintain freshness and prevents the cookies from becoming stale. โ๏ธ
