Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup apple cider
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and apple cider until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
- Roll tablespoon-sized balls of dough in powdered sugar and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For stronger apple flavor, reduce apple cider on the stove until thick and use that.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
