Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup apple cider
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Ingredients
  • 1 cup chopped apples optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the apple cider, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until just combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until no flour streaks remain. If using chopped apples, fold them in at this point.
Baking
  1. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  3. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them in a sealed zipper bag for up to three months. Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or in the oven at 300°F (150°C) until warm.
