Laurel, a reader and fellow blogger, is now a real-life recipe user. She commented on my Rosh Hashanah Cookies today and had this to say:
“YUM!!!! I just made these cookies, and they are sooooooo good! My daughters love them, and my house smells so delicious from them cooking. Both of my girls were drooling just from the smell. Definitely a new favorite cookie for me. Thanks for your wonderful creations.”
Laura and her husband Chris are readers, real-life cookie tasters, and--of course--neighbors. Laura emailed me last night to say:
“So now about these Apple 'n Honey cookies, they are delicious. And you are right they are similar in texture to honey cake, which both my mom and my sister love so I have been exposed to holiday honey cake for my entire life. I picked up the cookies Sunday night, but have been away since Monday morning, had to travel a couple of days for work. Thank goodness I ate one of the cookies before I left, because apparently you-know-who ate (inhaled) the other three before I even left Monday morning at 8 am. I knew these would be very much 'up his alley.' I think I was right.”
Thanks, Laurel and Laura!








I'll add the same rave reviews of this cookie (if I haven't already.) We enjoyed them yesterday for desert at our Rosh Hoshanah dinner and my parents LOVED them!!

These are perfect! I'm going apple picking this weekend and was looking for a recipe that incorporated fresh apples- what a fantastic coincidence!

Hi, Princess Ariele. I hope you had fun apple picking. Let me know how these come out. In the meantime, I just posted a recipe for Mulled Apple Cider Cookies. And there's apple-a-day recipes here:
