Warm and Spiced Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies

Introduction:
Hi, welcome back! Today, I'm going to show you how to make apple cinnamon oatmeal cookies. These cookies are warm, spiced, and packed with fresh diced apples, making them a delicious treat for any occasion. So, let's get started!

Ingredients:
1 and 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup softened butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup diced firm cooking apples (peeled, if desired)

Instructions:
Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until combined. Set aside.

Cream Butter and Sugars:
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
Cream them with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for a few minutes until the mixture is light, pale, and fluffy.

Add Eggs and Vanilla:
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add the vanilla extract and beat until combined.

Prepare Apples:
Wash and dry the apples. Peel them if desired, then core and dice them into small pieces. You can also grate them for a finer texture.

Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing by hand until just combined.
Add the diced apples along with the last portion of the dry ingredients and mix until everything is combined.

Scoop and Bake:
Scoop the dough onto an ungreased baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie.
Space the cookies about 1 and 1/2 inches apart to give them room to spread.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-14 minutes, until the edges start to lightly brown.

Cool and Serve:
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2-5 minutes.
Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool further.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
