Apple Cinnamon Butterscotch Cookies
One of the best collabs in my career to-date led me to create these amazing cookies...I made them for the famous Christie Cookie!
Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter softened/room temperature
- 1/2 cup monkfruit sweetener
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose einkorn flour
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon fine-ground sea salt
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup butterscotch chips rounded (sub white or milk chocolate chips)
- 1/2 cup dried apple bits
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line a baking sheet with nonstick parchment paper. Make sure oven rack is situated in the middle of the oven.
- In the base of a stand mixer or in a bowl, if using a hand mixer, combine stick of softened butter, monkfruit and coconut sugar. Turn to medium speed and beat until mixture is fluffy and lightened in color, approximately 2 minutes (longer than you think!). Add egg, heavy cream and vanilla and beat until just combined (do not overmix!). Turn off mixer(s).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and salt. Whisk to evenly incorporate.
- Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until mostly combined—this is a dry dough. Fold in cooled apples and white chocolate (it should be easier to mix once the apples are in there, as they add moisture).
- Dollop batter onto cookie sheet in approximately ¼ cup scoops, approximately 2” apart. Roll each into a ball, then bake for 14-16 minutes, until still soft to touch on top and lightly golden brown around the bottom edges.
- Cool 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then carefully add cookies to a cooling rack and cool another 5-10 minutes before enjoying.
