How to Make Apple Cheddar Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1 cup peeled and diced apples (about 1 medium apple), and ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
