Ingredients
For the cookies
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 egg
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
For topping
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, simmer 1 cup of apple cider until it reduces to 1/2 cup (about 10–15 minutes). Let it cool.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugars in a bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add egg, vanilla, and cooled cider. Mix until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Gradually add dry to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion out the dough. Roll each scoop into a ball with your hands.
- Arrange the dough balls on the lined baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.
- Let cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Brush the cookies with melted butter, then press them into the sugar-cinnamon mixture
Notes
- Reduce the cider first to intensify the apple flavor.
- Add chopped dried apples or nuts for texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
