Oatmeal Apple Cookies

Nothing says autumn like apples. And, if you're like me, you never tire of the classic oatmeal cookie. This one, adapted from a Domino sugar recipe, has lovely caramel undertones from the dark brown sugar. Definitely a keeper.

Oatmeal Apple Cookies

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 cup butter, room temperature
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups rolled oats
1 tart apple, peeled and finely chopped (such as Granny Smith)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Combine flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Using a stand mixer, combine butter and brown sugar; beat until fluffy. Add in eggs and vanilla. Add in flour mixture and rolled oats separately, blending well. Stir in chopped apples.

Using a cookie scoop, drop dough onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned around the edges but still slightly soft in the middle.
