Ingredients:
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon of baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- 1 and ¾ cups of old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup of softened unsalted butter
- ½ cup of packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup of granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup of finely chopped apple
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Mix well and then add the old-fashioned rolled oats. Set the mixture aside.
- Using a mixer, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and well combined, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in the finely chopped apple, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Use a tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out balls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each for spreading.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are set and lightly golden.
- Once done, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 to 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your freshly baked spiced apple oatmeal cookies with a glass of cold milk or your favorite beverage!
These cookies are a delightful blend of comforting spices and sweet apple chunks, making them a perfect treat for any occasion.
