Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup peeled and finely chopped apple (about 1 medium apple)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped apple and chocolate chips.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough (about 1.5 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use a firm apple variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best texture.
- Do not overbake to maintain a soft, chewy center.
- Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Add a handful of chopped nuts for added crunch.
