Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup apple, peeled and finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 6

Toss the finely chopped apple with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to prevent browning and to enhance the apple flavor.

Step 7

Gently fold the chopped apple into the cookie dough until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges and set in the middle.

Step 10

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Enjoy your freshly baked apple cinnamon cookies with a glass of milk or a warm cup of tea!
