Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract until fluffy.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture and stir until combined, being careful not to over mix.
  5. Fold in the diced apples and nuts, if using.
  6. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop generous portions of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  2. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
