Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough:
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup diced apples (peeled and small diced)
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, and cinnamon. - Cream Butter and Sugars:
In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined. - Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in the diced apples. - Shape Cookies:
In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the coating. Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture. - Bake:
Place the coated cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked. - Cool and Serve:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger to the dough to complement the cinnamon and apple.
- Use Granny Smith apples for a tart bite, or sweeter apples like Honeycrisp if you prefer a less tangy taste.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze the dough for up to 3 months.
