Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup apple cider (not concentrated)
  • Optional: 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt for your apple cider cookie dough.
  3. In a large bowl, using a mixer, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, blending well.
  5. Gradually add the apple cider to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined for these incredible apple cider cookies.
  6. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until a thick apple cider cookie dough forms.
  7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes to firm it up.
  8. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between them for baking.
  9. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges of your homemade apple cider cookies are lightly golden.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
