Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
  3. Incorporate the eggs one at a time and mix in the vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in the diced apples and optional walnuts gently to avoid breaking them.
  7. Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden brown; let cool for 5 minutes on the sheets.
  9. Prepare the maple glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth.
  10. Once cookies are completely cool, drizzle the glaze over them generously.
