Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 1 medium apple, peeled and finely chopped
- 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the rolled oats, finely chopped apple, and optional raisins until evenly distributed in the batter.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly puffed.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to rest for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these Muffin Top Apple Oatmeal Cookies warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
