Soft, golden cookies bursting with tender apples and warm spices, perfect for cozy afternoons.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cup rolled old fashioned oats
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup peeled granny smith apple, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Use silicone baking mats or parchment paper to line two 18-by-13-inch baking pans.
- Whisk together flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream together the softened butter and packed brown sugar until combined and fluffy.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well blended.
- Combine the finely chopped apples and lemon juice in a small bowl, tossing them until well coated.
- Gradually mix the flour mixture into the butter mixture until just combined. Gently fold in the apple mixture.
- Scoop out dough using a medium cookie scoop and place it on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are placed about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 14 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly golden.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool fully.
