Looking for a dessert that brings all the cozy vibes of autumn without the pumpkin pie? These Apple Cider Snickerdoodles are soft, chewy, and infused with warm apple cider and cinnamon — perfect for Thanksgiving or any fall gathering!🍎🍁
Ingredients:
• 1 cup apple cider (reduced to 2 tbsp)
• ½ cup butter, softened
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1 egg
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
1. Reduce the Apple Cider:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, simmer the apple cider until it reduces to 2 tablespoons. This will concentrate the flavor. Let it cool completely before using.
2. Make the Dough:
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and cooled apple cider reduction until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, salt, and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients
until just combined.
3. Chill the Dough:
Cover the dough and chill for at least 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
4. Prepare the Coating:
In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together.
5. Shape and Coat:
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat.
6. Bake:
Place the coated dough on the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look soft.
7. Cool and Serve:
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet before transferring. Serve warm for extra cozy vibes!
