Apple shaped cookies that I saw on Youtube, by Cooking Tree, one of my frequently visited korean baking youtube channel! So much fun to make, and I love the creativity of adding on the seeds by pressing in chocolate chips. Really much simpler than it looks! And because these need to be frozen it can be made in advance easily. I made the dough one evening after work when I was bored, and because there weren’t any occasion I didn’t bake them till later, which is alright for this recipe.
Give it a try – the possibilities for cut out icebox cookies are endless! I didn’t have almond flour for this recipe, so just replaced with normal flour and it turned out alright. Make sure you don’t under or overbake as well – this recipe might potentially turn sandy if underbaked, and if overbaked, the colors will be off!
