Apple Cinnamon Chip Cookies are soft and chewy, with a little bit of crunch and a whole lot of delicious fall flavors!
A lot of people jump right to pumpkin when they think of fall or fall flavored or scented things, but I am much more prone to lean the apple cinnamon direction, especially for scents. Mmm. I mean, my house may or may not have apple cinnamon plug-ins all year long. So, of course this week turned into Apple-palooza for my fall flavored recipes. And these soft and chewy Apple Cinnamon Chip Cookies are the perfect way to end the week.
I came up with this recipe in 2011 (WHAT?!?) and decided it needed to be brought back into my kitchen and shared with all of you lovelies – what, only 11 years later!! I’d like to say it’s worth the wait, but I fear once you taste them you’re gonna be real mad I waited 11 years to share. Sorry ’bout that. But now that I have, don’t you wait 11 years to make them. Mmmkay?

How to make Apple Cinnamon Chip Cookies
Full printable recipe card below!
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line cookie sheet(s) with foil or parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, nutmeg, and cinnamon and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine butter and sugars on medium speed until creamy.
- Add egg, milk, and vanilla and mix until fully incorporated.
- Add flour mixture in 2 batches, mixing until fully incorporated after each batch.
- Add apples and cinnamon chips and blend in with a spoon.
- Use a small or medium cookie scoop to drop dough onto cookie sheet (I press them down slightly because they don’t spread very much and you get a little flatter of a cookie this way, versus a cookie ball), and bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. For best results, cook on the middle oven rack.
- Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes before moving to cooling rack to cool completely.
