Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Apple, peeled, cored, and finely diced (about 1 cup)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Toss the diced apple with the lemon juice to prevent browning, then fold the apple into the cookie dough using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges and set in the middle.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Nut-Free Chewy Apple Cookies!
