Equipment
- 1 saucepan for reducing apple cider
- 1 electric mixer
- 1 Baking Sheet lined with parchment paper
- 1 Wire Rack
Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 2 cups apple cider
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
Instructions
Preparation
- In a saucepan, simmer apple cider over medium heat until reduced to 1 cup, approximately 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla extract and cooled apple cider.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes.
Serving
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Use a cookie scoop to place dough balls on a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden. Allow cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Storage
- Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze in a sealed container for up to 3 months.
