Help me find a cookie recipe that uses apple juice as an ingredient and results in the super bestest baked yumminess I have ever gorged myself on...

I can't remember when it was that I tried the best home made cookies I have ever tasted and I can't remember who made them or where I was or anything at all... except that apple juice was a key ingredient for sweetening the batter..

The cookies were very thin, not cakey or crumbly, and had chocolate chips...

Anyone?

TIA

Are you sure it was apple juice and not applesauce that was used? I only ask because applesauce is a frequent replacement for oil in baked goods.

Also, were they chewy or crunchy?

I'm guessing it's probably apple juice concentrate? Often used as a replacement for sweetener.

This uses a fruit juice reduction: Mani's double chocolate chip cookies.
This one uses applesauce (I've made applesauce brownies and they are delicious, so maybe you did mistake applesauce and apple juice) Chocolate Chip Cookies

And to top it all off an Amish version... this must be good!

Aha- I think you all are right- that it was apple sauce and not apple juice that made the cookies so distinctive...

I think this explains why I was coming up with nothing in my recipe searches.

Cabingirl: they were chewy, but at the same time not too dense. Hard to explain...
