Ingredients
Scale
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup finely grated apple (peeled and patted dry)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract.
- Mix in grated apple until just combined.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon.
- Roll dough into tablespoon-sized balls and coat in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Place dough balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes until edges are set but centers are soft.
- Cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Pat grated apple dry before mixing into dough to prevent excess moisture. Do not overbake; cookies will continue to set while cooling for the perfect chewy texture.
