Print Recipe

Soft and chewy cider-filled sugar cookies, coated in an apple cider butter, rolled in cinnamon sugar, and topped with an apple cider glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (474 ml) apple cider
  • 20 tablespoons (283 g) unsalted butter
  • 2½ cups (300 g) all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons apple pie spice or pumpkin spice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1¼ cup (250 g) light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg (US), room temperature
  • 1 large egg yolk (US), room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • Apple Cider Butter:
  • 4 tablespoons (57 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) apple cider (not reduced)

Instructions

  1. Pour the apple cider into a small saucepan and reduce until thickened.
  2. Whisk in the cooled browned butter with the light brown and granulated sugars until well combined.
  3. Whisk in the egg, egg yolk, apple cider, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  4. Stir the dry ingredients (flour, apple pie spice, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt) into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) for about 20-30 minutes before baking.
  6. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Allow the dough to rest while the oven preheats for 30 minutes.
  8. Using a medium cookie scoop (2 tablespoons, 30 ml), scoop the dough and place cookie dough balls onto the lined baking sheet about 3 inches (8 cm) apart.
  9. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 9-11 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft.
  10. For the apple cider butter, melt unsalted butter and mix with apple cider.
  11. Coat the warm cookies in the apple cider butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar.
  12. Optionally, top with an apple cider glaze.

Notes

These cookies taste like apple cider donuts in cookie form, with a soft and chewy texture. Allowing the dough to rest before baking helps develop flavor and texture. Rolling the baked cookies in apple cider butter and cinnamon sugar adds a delicious finishing touch.
