Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup apple butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 egg

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature by the time your dough is ready.
  2. Cream Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, thoroughly cream together the apple butter, brown sugar, and softened unsalted butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Egg: Incorporate the egg into the wet mixture and mix well to combine fully.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly distributed.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated to form a cookie dough.
  6. Form Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet, spacing them adequately to allow spreading.
  7. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden and the centers are set.
  8. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack to ensure they firm up and maintain their texture.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overmix the dough to keep the cookies tender.
  • Use softened butter for easier mixing and better texture.
  • For a richer flavor, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 5 days.
  • Adding chopped nuts or raisins can provide extra texture and flavor.
