ingredient
- 1 cup diced Fuji apples, ¼-inch dice
- ½ cup coconut oil, plus ½ teaspoon, solid at room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ground
- ¼ teaspoon allspice, ground
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup roasted peanuts
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Heat a medium-sized saute pan over medium heat. Add in ½ teaspoon coconut oil, once hot add the diced apples.
- Cook until apples are tender and some moisture is removed, 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate a chill in the refrigerator.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle, beat the coconut oil and sugars together until smooth and creamy, 30-seconds on medium speed.
- Add in the peanut butter and mix on medium speed until smooth, 15 seconds.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix on medium speed until combined, 30 seconds.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, and salt.
- With the mixer on low, slowly add in the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in the oats, peanuts, white chocolate chips, and diced apples. Chill batter in the freezer for 10 minutes, or refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- Measure and roll the cookie dough into 2 tablespoon-sized balls and place on the prepared cookie sheet, about 2-inches apart.
- Bake for 11 to 12 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely.
