Ingredients

Units Scale

Cookie Dough:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup finely chopped peeled apple (about 1 medium apple)
  • 3/4 cup raisins

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Stir in oats, apple, and raisins: Fold in the oats, chopped apple, and raisins.
  7. Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
  8. Cool: Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use a firm-sweet apple variety like Honeycrisp or Fuji for the best texture.
  • For added richness, mix in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
  • These cookies freeze well—store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
