Apple Pie Snickerdoodles

Apple Pie Snickerdoodles are snickerdoodle cookies stuffed with apple pie filling and rolled in a cinnamon-sugar mixture. Each cookie has a crispy outside with a soft and chewy inside, including that classic apple pie flavor in every bite! It's almost like eating a piece of apple pie with your hands, but, it's okay because it's a cookie!

Ingredients

Apple Filling

Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 ¾ cups (352 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Cinnamon Sugar

  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line three large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment on medium speed, cream together butter and sugar until fully incorporated.
  • Add in the vanilla and the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating between each addition.
  • With the mixer on low, gradually add the flour, cream of tartar, soda, and salt. Mix until just combined.
  • Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, scoop out the cookie dough onto a baking sheet. Flatten slightly. Place 2 teaspoons of apple pie filling in the middle of the dough. Bring the dough up around the apple pie filling, completely covering the filling, forming a ball.

Cinnamon Sugar

  • Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a shallow bowl.

Assembly

  • Roll the cookie balls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake for 14-16 minutes. After baking, carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool.
