- 3/4 C all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 C salted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp maple extract
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 3/4 C brown sugar
- 1/2 C granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 C honey crisp apple cored; cubed

Instructions
Cookies
- Heat oven to 350 °F.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Cream together butter and sugars. On my mixer I used my paddle attachment and set my speed to low for 30 seconds, medium for 30 seconds, and then high for 30 seconds. It came out creamed and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time.
- Add vanilla, maple extract, cake flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and mix for one minute until fully incorporated.
- Fold in oats until well incorporated.
- Fold in apples until well incorporated.
- Make ~1.5-2 T balls of dough and set on sheet pan. Make sure oats and apples are well mixed in or cookies will spread.
- Do not overcrowd the sheet pan. I put ~6-8 cookies per sheet.
- Cook for ~13 minutes or until dough becomes slightly crisp or until desired done-ness.***
- Let rest for 3-5 minutes. And enjoy.... or if you want them iced, while you are waiting for them to cool, follow the below:
Icing
- Combine all icing ingredients and stir until smooth.
- Once the cookies have cooled, drizzle them with the icing.
- Enjoy!
Notes
***HACK: if your cookies are not circular, while they are still warm put a round glass around them and move in a circular motion...sort of knocking the cookie gently around the inside of the glass. Due to the softness of the cookie, it will mold into a circle. This has to be done while they are piping hot or they will break.
