Apples are in season right now and what better way to share the apple love than to mix up a batch of apple oatmeal cookies? These are moist and delicious and I like to think that the freshly ground nutmeg give them just hat little extra to make them your favorite fall cookie. Enjoy.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour sifted
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg I use the whole nutmeg and grate it for better flavor
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup butter unsalted, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar granulated
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed down and leveled off in measuring cup
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups quick cooking oatmeal
- 1 medium apple peeled, cored and chopped into small pieces
Servings: dozen
Instructions
- 1, Mix together the following in a large bowl: flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and salt. Put aside.
- 2. Beat the following with a mixer: butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth. Add in egg and vanilla, mixing well.
- 3. Slowly add the dry ingredients tot he wet ingredients and mix until just barely combined. Mix in the oats followed by the apple until fully mixed.
- 4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- 5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove dough from refrigerator and and scoop 2 tablespoons of dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Bake at 350 degrees fro 15 minutes or until cookies are lightly brown. (Ovens may vary so check a few minutes before you think they might be done.)
- Remove from over and allow to cool for 5 minutes on cookie sheets before transferring to a wire rack.
- these cookies are best served fresh and will stay fresh in a covered container for a few days. They freeze well and it is easy to thaw them and have really fresh cookies if you can't eat the whole batch in a couple of days. Great cookie to use those fall apples and share with friends.
