Instructions
- Prep oven:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients:
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Cream butter & sugar:
- In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla, mixing well.
- Combine & fold in apple:
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture.
- Fold in chopped or grated apple. The dough will be soft but manageable.
- Shape cookies:
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls.
- Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then roll each cookie in the mixture.
- Place 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
- Bake:
- Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
- Cool on baking sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
💡 Tips & Variations
- Extra flavor: Add ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans for a nutty crunch.
- Chewy cookies: Use finely grated apple instead of chopped for softer, chewier cookies.
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of cloves or allspice for a warm, fall-inspired cookie.
If you like, I can also give you a one-bowl quick version of these apple sugar cookies that’s even faster but just as soft and flavorful.
