Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) fresh, unfiltered apple cider
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • Optional: Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Optional: Caramel sauce for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of apple cider into a saucepan and simmer over medium heat until it reduces to about 1/4 cup (60 ml). Let it cool completely before using.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat 1/2 cup (115 g) of softened unsalted butter, 1/2 cup (100 g) of brown sugar, and 1/4 cup (50 g) of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Mix in one egg, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and the cooled reduced apple cider. Blend until smooth.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups (220 g) of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, 1/4 tsp of baking soda, 1/2 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp of nutmeg.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
  8. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and let them cool completely before serving.

Notes

Reducing the apple cider intensifies its flavor, making these cookies truly stand out. Chill the dough if it feels sticky for easier handling.
