Apple Cider Cookies

  •  3 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup room-temperature butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup apple cider
  • 1 apple

Cream the sugars and butter until very well incorporated.

Add in the egg and incorporate well

Add in the apple cider and incorporate well [you can do a reduction of the cider to the amount needed to intensify flavor, just make sure to keep the amount]

Add the dry to the wet. 

Cut up the apple (cored and peeled) into small bites and cook on low heat until some of the liquid is drawn out- do not overcook, or they'll get mushy!

Allow to cool and then add to the dough, but do not overmix!

This will result in a fairly soft dough.

Scoop out and bake at 350-375 for 8-12 minutes, but do a tester first!

For the Glaze:

In a small bowl, whisk together

  • 2 cups confectioner's sugar
  • 3 tbsp apple cider
  • 1 tsp clear kayro
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Stir and drizzle over the cooled cookies.
