How to make Soft Apple Cookies:
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs and sugar. Mix well using a hand whisk.
- Pour in the sunflower oil and whisk again to incorporate.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon to the bowl. Start with 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, adjusting to taste if desired. Mix well with the whisk until the dough becomes more compact, then switch to a spatula and continue mixing until a ball forms that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Wash, dry, peel, and cut the apples into small cubes.
- Add the apple cubes to the dough and knead by hand to incorporate them evenly.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) for a conventional oven.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using two spoons, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie as they will expand during baking.

- Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet.
