Ingredients

  • 1/2 c. 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 c. brown sugar packed
  • 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 medium apple grated and liquid squeezed *SEE NOTES
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 c. + 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 c. old fashioned oats
  • 1/3 c. quick rolled oats
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. apple pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. coarse kosher sea salt
  • 1/3 c. cinnamon chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats, set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl with a hand mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together butter, sugars and vanilla extract for 2-3 minutes. Add the apple, then the egg. Mix until combined, about 30 seconds.
  • In a medium size mixing bowl, combine flour, oats, baking soda, apple pie spice, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to combine. With mixing speed on low, gradually add dry ingredients, mixing until no flour pockets remain. Remove bowl from stand and fold in cinnamon chips.
  • Using a standard size cookie scoop, place balls of chilled dough onto the prepared cookie sheets. Place in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies begin to turn golden brown in color. The centers should look slightly underbaked, they will firm up once cooled.
  • Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on sheets for 3-4 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

*I used a box grater on the large setting to grate the apple. Then I squeezed the majority of the juice out (you can save it or discard it). I ran my chef's knife over the squeezed apples a few times to make them smaller and less stringy.
