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 sugar and cinnamon for the coating. Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll 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 an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle the cookies with a light glaze after they have cooled completely.
  • If you like a chewier texture, slightly underbake the cookies by reducing the baking time by 1-2 minutes.
  • These cookies are perfect for fall gatherings or as a sweet snack with a cup of warm cider or coffee.
