Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 cup Apple, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Toss the chopped apple with lemon juice in a small bowl to prevent browning.
Fold the chopped apple, rolled oats, and walnuts (if using) into the cookie dough.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the cookies while they are fresh, or store them in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
