Apple Snickerdoodles

  • Author: Isabella Russo
  • Total Time: 32 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies 1x

Description

Moist, chewy snickerdoodle cookies packed with fresh apple chunks and coated in cinnamon sugar. These easy cookies bring autumn flavors to any occasion and stay soft for days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (115g)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed (100g)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 medium fresh apple, peeled and diced small (about 1 cup / 120g, Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)
  • For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (8g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Dice apple into small 1/4-inch cubes; peel for smoother texture.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
  4. Beat in egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in diced apple using a spatula.
  7. Mix cinnamon sugar coating ingredients in a small bowl. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough, roll in cinnamon sugar, and place on baking sheet about 2 inches apart. If dough is sticky, chill for 10 minutes.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and tops crackle. Centers will look soft.
  9. Cool cookies on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

For thicker cookies, chill dough for 30 minutes before baking. Dice apples small to prevent soggy cookies. Double-coat in cinnamon sugar for extra crunch. If apples are very juicy, pat dry before adding to dough. Cookies freeze well for up to 2 months.
