Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cup grated apple
- 0.25 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the grated apple and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
Drop tablespoon-sized balls of cookie 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 lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your low sodium apple cinnamon cookies with a warm cup of tea or as a delightful snack!
