Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) apple cider
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  5. Slowly add the apple cider to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Fold in nuts if using.
  7. Drop dough by cookie scoop or tablespoon onto prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft. Watch closely from minute 9.
  9. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill dough for 20-30 minutes if cookies spread too much. Use fresh apple cider for best flavor. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender. Store in airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain softness. Freeze dough for later use.
