Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and finely chopped

1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.

      Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

        Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until thoroughly combined.

          Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined.

            Fold in Apple and Mix-Ins: Carefully fold in the finely chopped apple, raisins or dried cranberries (if using), and chopped walnuts or pecans (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

              Scoop Dough: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.

                  Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Enjoy: Enjoy your delicious Apple Oat Snack Cookies as a healthy treat or snack that’s perfect for any time of day!
