How to Make Oatmeal Apple Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of shortening, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 1 large egg, ½ cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup chopped apples (peeled and cored), ½ cup raisins, and ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended).
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Start checking at 12 minutes.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1-2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
