Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) 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 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups (160 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2 g) baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1 g) baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • Pinch of cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1 g) salt

Instructions

  1. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of apple cider into a medium saucepan and simmer over medium heat until it reduces to about 1/4 cup (60 ml). Let it cool completely.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat 1/2 cup (115 g) of softened 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 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla extract, and the cooled apple cider reduction. Beat until combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups (160 g) of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon (2 g) of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon (1 g) of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) of ground cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg, a pinch of cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon (1 g) of salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Scoop the dough into 1 1/2 tablespoon (20 g) portions and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will appear soft but will firm up as they cool.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.

Notes

[‘Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes if it feels too sticky.’, ‘Don’t skip the apple cider reduction for concentrated flavor.’, ‘Adjust spices to suit your taste, or add a pinch of cardamom for a unique twist.’, ‘Watch the baking time to avoid dry cookies; they should look slightly soft in the center when removed from the oven.’]
