Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup dried apples, chopped
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped dried apples and butterscotch chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop approximately 1.5 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges. The centers will look slightly underbaked, which is perfect for a soft and chewy texture.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
