Print Recipe

Soft and chewy apple cider cookies with warm spices and a hint of caramel-like flavor, perfect for fall or holiday treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup apple cider (reduced to concentrate)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/2 cup caramel chips or white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small saucepan, simmer apple cider over medium heat until reduced to about 1/4 cup. Let cool.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and reduced apple cider, mixing until combined.
  6. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until incorporated. Fold in chips if using.
  7. Scoop dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place on prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Reducing the apple cider intensifies its flavor in the cookies.
  • For extra flavor, roll dough balls in cinnamon sugar before baking.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
