Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup peeled and diced apples
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, beating until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the diced apples and nuts, if you’re using them, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft. They will continue to firm up as they cool!
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
