  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the peeled and diced tart apples and walnuts (if using).
  7. Scoop out balls of dough and place on prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool on sheets for a few minutes.
  9. Whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth to prepare the glaze.
  10. Drizzle glaze over cookies once completely cool. Allow glaze to set before serving.
