Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups quick oats
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 medium Granny Smith apple peeled, cored, finely diced

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. To your stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the butter and sugars. Cream for 2-3 minutes, or until they are fully incorporated and fluffy.
  3. Add in the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
  4. Turn the mixer off and add in the flour, oats, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
  5. With the mixer on low, mix until just combined.
  6. Fold in apples.
  7. Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, drop dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each. Gently press down on the dough to slightly flatten.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The tops of the cookies may appear a little wet, but they will continue to bake out of the oven.
  9. After allowing the cookies to slightly cool, move them to a cooling rack.

Notes

These Apple Oatmeal Cookies are perfect for a cozy treat. Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for the best texture.
