Comment from high school student.

Tips!

*Immediately after baking, it is still soft, but it becomes hard when it cools, so be careful not to overcook it.
*Remove from the oven and cool as soon as it is baked so that it is not overcooked with residual heat.

According to the high school students who thought about the recipe, they give us following advice.

Apples have a lot of moisture, and there was a problem that they did not come together well with the dough as they were raw, and the taste of apples did not taste when cut into small pieces.
Therefore, in order to reduce moisture, it was dried and made easy to mix with the dough, and by drying, the taste was concentrated and delicious.
Apple chips can also be stored, so I think it can be used not only for cookies but also for various dishes.

When I actually sampled cookies made by high school students, the light brittle texture of the cookies is felt firmly, and it is a very delicious cookie.
