Notes
I mixed up the recipe and combined chocolate with the apple butter, still tasty!
Ingredients
- For the Cookies:
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup Musselman’s Apple Butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- For the Frosting:
- 1/4 cup Musselman’s Apple Butter
- 2 Tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 ounces white baking chocolate, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick baking spray.
- Beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Add the apple butter and vanilla and beat again.
- Stir together the salt, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Slowly add to the butter mixture until dough forms.
- Place the dough on the prepared pan. Press the dough out evenly into a 9×11 rectangle. Bake for 11-12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and use a pizza cutter to cut the warm cookie into 20 even rectangles. Let cool for a few minutes on the pan, then remove them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Whisk together the apple butter, butter, and powdered sugar. Use a spatula to spread the frosting evenly on the tops of the cooled cookies.
- Place the melted white chocolate in a plastic bag and cut one tip off. Drizzle over the tops of the frosting. Let sit until the frosting hardens. Store in a tightly sealed container. Makes 20 bars.
This is a great treat and wonderfully sweet, even without chocolate chocolate.
