Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup reduced apple cider (simmer 1 cup cider until 1/2 cup remains)
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • For Coating: 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and the reduced apple cider.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon for the coating.
  6. Roll rounded tablespoons of dough into balls, then roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  7. Place the dough balls on baking sheets lined with parchment paper, about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor, you can use brown butter instead of softened butter.
  • If you prefer a chewier cookie, slightly underbake them.
  • These cookies can be made vegan by using vegan butter and a flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes).
  • For a glaze, whisk together powdered sugar with a little apple cider until smooth and drizzle over cooled cookies.
