Apple Pie Drop Cookies

Apple Pie Drop Cookies(Perfect for Thanksgiving )

1/2 c. butter, at room temp.
2/3 c. granulated sugar
2/3 c. packed brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg (I used a scant 1/2 tsp. since I used
freshly grated nutmeg)
1/8 tsp. ground cloves
1 egg
2 Tbs. milk
2 c. flour
1 c. finely chopped apple (do not peel, and use a red apple, the
red color of the peeling looks pretty)
1 c. chopped walnuts

In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with mixer on medium speed
and then turn on high and beat for 30 seconds.
Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg,
and cloves; beat until combined. Beat in egg and milk. Beat in as
much flour as you mixer
can handle. (This is when the good old KA comes in mighty handy!)
Stir in any remaining flour, the apple and the nuts with a wooden
spoon.
Drop by rounded teaspoons, 2-inches apart onto lightly greased
cookie sheet. (I used parchment paper)
Bake at 375F for 9 to 11 minutes. ( I baked mine for exactly 10
minutes in the upper 1/3 of my oven and turned the cookies from
front to back half way
through baking.) Bake until edges are just lightly browned. Cool
on cook sheet for a minute or 2 then transfer to a wire rack and
cool completely.
Store in a tightly covered container for up to 3 days, or freeze
for up to 3 months.
