Apple-Walnut Cookies image

I've gotten into the habit of baking a dozen or so cookies to eat now and then freezing what remains for another day. Whether you're having a dinner party, last-minute guests, or just want a spur-of-the-moment treat, always having homemade cookies on hand--instead of a box of store-bought cookies that will be stale within a week--is just about the coziest thing ever.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup honey or agave nectar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 apple, peeled, cored, and diced into small cubes (about 1 cup)
1 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flours, oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the butter and honey on medium speed for 1 minute, or until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing to incorporate as you go. Stir the apple and walnuts into the batter.
  • Drop 1 tablespoon of dough at a time onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone baking mat, keeping space between the cookies (see Cook's Note). Bake for 12 minutes, or until golden. Remove to a cooling rack and serve.

I added a teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter. It gave the cookies a nice warm flavor.

I didn't have any walnuts, so I used pecans instead. They turned out great!

The cookies were a bit dry. I think I overbaked them. I'll try baking them for a shorter time next time.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These cookies are the perfect way to use up leftover apples. They're also a great way to get your kids to eat more fruit.

I love that these cookies are made with whole wheat flour. They're a healthier option that still tastes great.
