Apple Peanut Butter Cookies
Yield: 4 dozen cookies
Crisp apples dipped in peanut butter are a favorite snack around here. We took that combination and made it into a cookie. Apple Peanut Butter Cookies, warm and tender from the oven, are the perfect way to enjoy a crisp fall or winter day!
Ingredients
- 1 c. creamy peanut butter
- 1 c. unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 c. sugar
- 1 c. packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 3 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- ½ c. peeled and grated apple I use the large holes on a box grater, and then lightly chop any long strands of apple with a knife - I like to use Haralson or Granny Smith
- ½ c. peeled and diced 1/4" size apple - I like to use Haralson or Granny Smith
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375° F.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar, and brown sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping the bowl 2 to 3 times. Add peanut butter and incorporate. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture and mix until fully incorporated. Fold in the grated and diced apple.
- Drop about 2 tablespoons of dough onto baking sheet, about 2'' apart. I like to use a medium scoop (mine is 1-5/8" in diameter), loaded just a bit generously. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
