Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 medium Apple (peeled, cored, and diced small)
• 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and peanut butter together using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the butter mixture and continue beating until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in the diced apple pieces using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

Step 8

Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. Avoid overbaking to maintain a soft texture.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Enjoy!
