Ingredients

0.75 cup unsalted butter
0.75 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 large apple cored and grated
2.5 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup old cheddar shredded
0.5 tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp baking soda
Pinch salt

Instructions

In bowl, using electric hand mixer, beat butter and sugar until fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition.
Stir in apples until combined.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, cheese, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Stir into butter mixture until just blended.
Drop dough by heaping tablespoonfuls on parchment paper lined baking sheets (I ran out of parchment paper and greased the pan instead).
Bake in centre of 350°F oven for about 15 minutes or until light golden and firm.
Let cool completely on pan.
