Desserts Recipe ✶ Apple Cider Oatmeal Cookies

I adapted an old oatmeal raisin cookie recipe I had to match a more autumnal feel, and it turned out really good. The apples came through nicely and the cookie itself is light, soft, and nicely crumbly.

Ingredients

• ⅓ cup white sugar
• ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup butter, softened
• ½ cup shortening
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 cups thinly sliced apples
• 1 cup all-purpose flour

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Beat white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, butter, shortening, baking soda, cinnamon, vanilla extract, salt, baking powder, and nutmeg together in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth; stir in oats, apples, and flour until dough is evenly combined. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons, about 2 inches apart, onto baking sheets.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are lightly browned, 9 to 11 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool, 3 to 5 minutes.
