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 sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 apples peeled and shredded
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line three 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. 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 sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 11 to 12 minutes. Cookies will look puffy when done. Allow them to cool for 5 minutes and serve or store, covered.

Notes

  • The cookies will be puffy when they come out of the oven. Give them a few minutes to cool and flatten (if you can stand the wait).
  • Be sure to pat the grated apples dry before adding them to the batter in order to avoid a wet, gooey cookie.
  • Replace up to 1/2 cup of the sugar with brown sugar, if desired!
