Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup packed light brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1.5 cup peeled, finely chopped apple about 1 large apple
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice to prevent apple browning
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans optional
- 0.5 cup raisins optional
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Beat in egg and vanilla until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix just until combined.
- Stir in oats until evenly distributed.
- Toss chopped apple with lemon juice, then fold into dough along with nuts and raisins (if using). Chill dough for 10 minutes if very soft.
- Scoop dough into 1.5 tablespoon mounds, spacing 2 inches apart on prepared sheets.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are set and centers look just slightly underdone. Do not overbake.
- Cool on sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use firm, sweet-tart apples like Honeycrisp or Pink Lady for the best texture. Cookies keep 3 days at room temperature in an airtight container or freeze up to 2 months.
