Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup butter softened (2 sticks)
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 apples peeled and shredded
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, 2 teaspoons cinnamon and salt. Mix well and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the butter, 1 1/2 cups sugar, eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy. Gradually add the flour mixture until combined. Fold in the shredded apples.
  • In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Mix well.
  • Roll the dough into 1-inch balls using the palms of your hands. Roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 11 to 12 minutes. Cookies will look puffy when done. Repeat until the batter is gone.
  • Allow them to cool for 5 minutes and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use room temp eggs and softened butter for a better batter.
  • Don’t skip using cream of tartar in these cookies. It’s such a magic ingredient that will help leaven your cookies and give them a good chewy texture. Plus, cream of tartar can last in your cupboard for a long time.
  • Be sure to pat the shredded apple dry before adding them to the batter in order to avoid wet, gooey cookies.
  • Use a cookie scoop to portion the cookie dough for rolling.
  • For a chewier cookie, you can replace some of the white sugar with light or dark brown sugar.
