Apple Cider flavors these brown sugar cinnamon cookies with cinnamon chips and freeze dried apples.
Ingredients
- 2 sticks butter unsalted, room temperature.
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ tspn salt
- 1 cup apple cider
- 2 eggs
- 1 packet apple cider drink mix Alpine Spiced Apple Cider packets is what I used.

- 2½ cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup cinnamon chips
- 1 cup walnuts toasted until fragrant then chopped.
- .70 ounces freeze dried apples 2 small snack packets from the store.
- ½ cup turbinado sugar for rolling cookies.
Instructions
- In a saucepan, heat one cup apple cider over medium heat until a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook down for 10 minutes until there is only 2 tablespoons of reduced syrup left. It will look like thick honey. Take off heat and allow to cool in a small bowl before adding to the cookie dough.
- In a stand mixer or using a handheld mixer, combine butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar and mix on medium high heat until pale and creamy. About 3-4 minutes.
- Add in eggs, vanilla extract, reduced apple cider syrup, and mix until the eggs are thoroughly mixed in. This will take a minute or two.
- Next, add in apple cider drink powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and flour. Mix just until combined.
- Add in chopped toasted walnut pieces and cinnamon chips and mix just until they are evenly combined in the dough.
- Using 2-ounce scoop, scoop 18 portions of dough. Roll the dough in a bowl of turbinado sugar until evenly coated.`
- Bake at 350*F for 12-14 minutes or until the edges are brown and the tops are dry.
- Enjoy!
Notes
