Apple-Scotch Cookies

On Monday I declared the start of the school year as the "Unofficial" start of fall, so it's about time I shared a recipe to mark the occasion. 🍁

These cookies are chewy, cakey, and bursting with the flavors of apple, butterscotch and cinnamon, I wanted to eat them for breakfast and I wanted them for dessert with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of butterscotch syrup. I'll be making these cookies again! 

Apple-Scotch Cookies

Serves: about 3 dozen cookies

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter, softened to room temperature

3/4 cup light brown sugar

2 eggs

1 apple, peeled and grated (I used Honeycrisp)

1 tsp cinnamon 

1 tsp maple or vanilla extract

1 cup flour

1 1/2 cups Old Fashioned Oats (see note below)

1 1/2 cups butterscotch chips

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat your softened butter and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy - about 2 minutes. 
  3. Mix in your eggs, one at a time.
  4. Mix in your grated apple, cinnamon, and vanilla or maple extract. 
  5. Next, add in your baking powder and salt and mix until evenly distributed. 
  6. Lastly, mix in your flour and old fashioned oats. Mix in your butterscotch chips by hand until evenly distributed. 
  7. Use a small cookie scoop to place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, and bake until golden brown along the edges. Let the cookies cool on the cooking sheets for a few minutes, then place on a wire rack to cool completely. 
  8. That's it! These cookies are fall in cookie form. 
*Note - You may need to add an additional 1/4-1/2 cups of oats to the batter if you get a particularly "juicy" apple. If the batter feels to loose, add in more oats until it can hold its shape when scooped.

Friday Favorites [5-3-2024]

  Yay! It's Friday and it's the month of MAY! Both of those things are very good things in my book. Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from the week.  On Monday I shared that we had a busy weekend! My mom and I hosted a Bridal Shower for my sweet cousin Caitlin, and then our new niece and nephew were baptized on Sunday. It was a fun (but tiring) way to spend the weekend!  Jack especially loved all of the family time, and was happy to sneak in some giggles with Great Grandma before the shower began. 😉 We whipped up these  Burrito Bowls  for dinner one night this week, and it was a new favorite. It was such an easy meal that Dustin and I both loved!  It's May, which means that it's time for me to read "Charlotte's Web" to my class. I read it every year during the month of May! This book has seen much better years - I think it's time for a new copy. Haha.  The boys and I love to play in the basement...

Friday Favorites [9-6-2024]

  I'm always happy to see Friday, but especially when the weather calls for... this gloriousness this weekend, I.Can't.Wait.!  I'm linking up with Andrea  and Erika  to share some favorites from our busy, short week!  These brothers get so excited to see each other everyday after school, it melts me! They were together at childcare last year, so it makes me think that they have to be missing each other this year.  Brother time is always a favorite of mine. 😊 The chicken street taco kit from Costco is a favorite as well! This time of year it's important to get dinner on the table quickly and I love that this kit involves minimal clean-up.  This little boy is determined to start walking. He's getting braver and braver by the day!  There's a new flag football player in town. 😉 Sammy started flag football this week and I can't wait to watch him in action this fall! This is his "tough face." Haha.  Sammy's lunches have been a favorite for sure....

Friday Favorites [8-9-2024]

  It's Friday! I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from my week.  I don't even know HOW it happened, but this is my last official week of summer. Can you hear me crying from wherever you are? 😅 June passed slowly, but July and August flew. I know that I will blink and the upcoming week will be over.  We've just been over here trying to soak in all  that's left of summer. 😉 On August 6th, Dustin and I celebrated 8 years of marriage! We celebrated with our first date night in an entire calendar year.  With Jack's allergies and Dustin's crazy work schedule, we find it so hard to get out just the two of us. It's a goal of ours to make it a priority this year!  Sammy's Kindergarten backpack, lunchbox and thermos came and he couldn't have been more excited. We loaded up all of his supplies and he is ready. Me on the other hand? I need someone to come over here and hold me. Haha.  Smiley boys at the park are ...
