Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups peeled and diced apples
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon in a separate bowl.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until well combined.
- Gently fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a healthier option, consider using sugar substitutes such as stevia or monk fruit. Allow dough to rest in the fridge for enhanced flavor.
