- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- a pinch of allspice
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the apple cider and large egg, mixing until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look a bit soft, but they'll firm up as they cool.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
