Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh apples, peeled and finely diced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for cinnamon-sugar mixture)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for cinnamon-sugar mixture)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Add egg and vanilla extract, then mix until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon for the cinnamon-sugar coating.
  7. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
  8. Arrange cookie balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly cracked.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[“Chill the dough for 20-30 minutes if it’s too sticky.”, ‘Use firm apple varieties like Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji for the best results.’, ‘Slightly underbake the cookies for a soft, chewy texture.’, ‘Fresh spices enhance the flavor—use fresh cinnamon and nutmeg.’]
