Servings: 24 Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 3 cups flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon apple cider drink mix
Glaze
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon apple cider drink mix
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon apple cider
Instructions
- Add the apple cider to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower to medium-low and simmer until it reduces to ¼ cup. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Use a hand or stand mixer to beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on high for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add the reduced apple cider, egg, vanilla, and apple sauce and mix until combined.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, spices, and drink mix. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix just until fully incorporated. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
- After the dough has chilled, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Remove the dough from the fridge and use a large cookie scoop to scoop onto the baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between them.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. The edges should be just barely set and slightly golden brown. The center of the cookies will look very underdone, but they will continue to cook as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the pan for 3-4 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
- While the cookies cool, prepare the glaze by whisking the powdered sugar, drink mix, vanilla, and apple cider together until smooth. Drizzle over the top of the cooled cookies.
