Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup apple, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Toss the finely chopped apple with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to prevent browning and to enhance the apple flavor.
Gently fold the chopped apple into the cookie dough until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges and set in the middle.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your freshly baked apple cinnamon cookies with a glass of milk or a warm cup of tea!
