Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt.
- In another large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped apples gently so they don’t get mushy.
Baking
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for them to spread.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
- Let them cool on a wire rack before diving in!
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to one week; they can be frozen for up to three months. For extra-chewy cookies, chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking. Consider pairing with spiced cider, tea, or vanilla ice cream.
