Apple Cider Cookies

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Servings 24 cookies

Ingredients
  

For the cookies:

  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar gently packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

For the sugar coating:

  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 3/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp all spice
  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • First, make the apple cider reduction. To do this, add the cup of apple cider to a pot and let simmer until about 3 tablespoons remain. This will take about 20-25 minutes. Then, let cool for about 15 minutes before adding it into the cookie dough.
  • Once you've made the apple cider reduction and let it cool, then you can start making the cookie dough. To start, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. About 2-3 minutes.
  • After that, beat in the egg and the cooled cider reduction.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together the salt, flour, cream of tarter, and baking soda. Gradually beat into butter mixture.
  • In a small bowl, mix together all the coating ingredients and set aside. Scoop your cookie dough into 1 inch balls and then roll throughly in the sugar coating mixture.
  • Place cookie dough balls on prepared baking sheet, leaving room in between. These cookies do spread a little when baking.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until gold brown. Then, let cookies cool on wire rack before enjoying.
  • Store leftover cookie in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
