Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven
    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    Ensure the oven reaches the proper temperature before baking.
  2. Prepare Apples
    In a bowl, mix diced apples with cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla extract until well-coated.
    Apples should look glossy with a cinnamon sugar coating.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars
    In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
    Mixture should be pale and creamy.
  4. Add Egg
    Beat in the large egg to the butter and sugar mixture until fully incorporated.
    The mixture might look slightly curdled but should be combined.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients
    In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and baking powder.
    Evenly mixed with no visible lumps.
  6. Make Cookie Dough
    Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the apple mixture.
    Dough should be soft and thick, with apple pieces evenly distributed.
  7. Shape Cookies
    Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
    Form dough into slightly rounded mounds.
  8. Bake Cookies
    Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are golden brown at the edges.
    Edges should appear set and lightly browned.
  9. Cool Cookies
    Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
    Cookies will firm up as they cool.
