Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup butter softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar firmly packed
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cup diced apples
Cinnamon & Sugar topping
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Directions:
-
Pre-heat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together in a mixing bowl. Cream this together until smooth.
-
Next, add in the 2 eggs, vanilla extract, baking soda and salt. Mix this together until smooth.
-
Then, add in the (1 tsp) ground cinnamon.
-
Next, add in the flour, ½ cup at a time.
-
Then, mix in the diced apples using a rubber spatula. Finally, form the dough into 1 inch balls.
-
For the topping, combine ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon together in a small bowl. Whisk this together for about 1 minutes.
-
Roll each cookie dough ball in the cinnamon and sugar topping, then place it in on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Then, with the palm of your hand, lightly flatten them down just a little.
-
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until they edges start to turn golden brown. Rotate the pan half-way through the cooking time to allow even cooking.
-
Allow them to cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack or plate.
