Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 medium Apple (peeled, cored, and diced small)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
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 powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and peanut butter together using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the butter mixture and continue beating until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the diced apple pieces using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. Avoid overbaking to maintain a soft texture.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Enjoy!
