Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh apple (peeled, cored, and finely diced)
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts (optional)
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, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Gently fold in the diced apple, rolled oats, and chopped walnuts (if using). Be careful not to overmix.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
