Apple oatmeal cookies

Apple oatmeal cookies are a delightful blend of sweet apples, warm cinnamon, and hearty oats. Perfect for the autumn season or any time you crave a comforting treat, these cookies are relatively easy to make and yield a soft, chewy texture that pairs wonderfully with a hot beverage. Whether you're baking for a special occasion or simply to satisfy a sweet tooth, this recipe is sure to become a favorite.

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2. Prepare the apple:
Finely chop the apple into small pieces. This will ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the cookies.
3. Mix dry ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose white wheat flour, oats, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda. Set this dry mixture aside.
4. Cream the butter and sugars:
In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
5. Add wet ingredients:
Beat in the egg and maple syrup until the mixture is well combined.
6. Combine flour and apples:
Toss the chopped apples in the 2 tablespoons of flour. This helps the apple pieces distribute more evenly throughout the dough without clumping together.
7. Combine wet and dry ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be sure not to overmix. Gently fold in the floured apple pieces until they are evenly distributed in the dough.
8. Shape the cookies:
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
9. Bake:
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the centers are set.
10. Cool:
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Dust with powdered sugar:
Once the cookies have cooled, lightly dust them with the powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
12. Enjoy:
Serve the cookies immediately for a warm treat or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Tips:

- Peel and finely dice the apples to ensure they soften adequately while baking.

- Use fresh, crisp apples for the best flavor and texture.

- Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing with the sugars.

- Do not overmix the dough once you combine the wet and dry ingredients to avoid tough cookies.

- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.

- For a more intense cinnamon flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or allspice.

- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to line your baking sheets for easy cleanup.

- Adjust the baking time based on your oven and how crispy or chewy you prefer your cookies.
