These Apple Butter Cookies are soft, spiced, and full of cozy autumn flavors. With a hint of cinnamon and the richness of apple butter, they’re perfect for enjoying with a cup of tea or coffee on a crisp day.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Makes about 24 cookies:

  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) apple butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • For topping (optional):
    • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars:
    • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add wet ingredients:
    • Mix in the egg, apple butter, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. Combine dry ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Shape the cookies:
    • Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. If desired, mix the optional topping (sugar and cinnamon) in a small bowl and roll each dough ball in the mixture. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Serve and enjoy:
    • Enjoy these cookies as-is or with a drizzle of caramel for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

  • For added texture, stir in 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts.
  • If you like sweeter cookies, add a drizzle of icing or powdered sugar dusting after cooling.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
