ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 rolled oats old fashioned
- 2 packets instant apple cider mix (7.4 ounce each)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup apples, diced small
- 1/2 cup butterscotch chips (optional)
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl whisk together flour, oats, apple cider mix, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and salt until combined.
Step 3
In your bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or using a hand blender) cream together butter and brown sugar until combined. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
Step 4
Add flour mixture to butter mixture and mix just until combined. Stir in the apples and butterscotch chips (if using).
Step 5
Using a medium cookie scoop or large spoon, scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough into your hand and roll into a ball. Place on baking sheet and gently flatten slightly with your fingers. (Be sure to place cookies about 2 inches apart.)
Step 6
Bake 14-16 minutes, rotating baking sheets halfway through, until cookies are lightly browned on the bottom and edges.
Step 7
Let cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
