Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies
Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies are perfectly chewy and moist, with a nice crunch from walnuts. This easy cookie recipe is a keeper!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups old fashioned oats do NOT use quick cooking oats
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup chopped walnuts finely chopped
- 1 medium apple peeled and diced small (I used Granny Smith)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Peel and dice the apple and toss with lemon juice. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt. Whisk until well mixed.
- Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat mixture until light and creamy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add egg and vanilla, mix until combined.
- Slowly add dry ingredients to the mixing bowl, with the mixer on low. Beat just until incorporated. Last, add the walnuts and apple chunks mix to combine.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes, until cookies have reached your desired doneness. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
