How to Make Apple Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with ½ cup sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in 2 cups peeled and chopped apples, ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans, and ½ cup raisins.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
