Ingredients
-
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
-
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
-
½ teaspoon baking soda
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
-
1 ¾ cups white sugar, divided
-
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
-
1 large egg, at room temperature
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
-
¾ cup apple butter
-
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Directions
-
Whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl until combined.
-
Mix together butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Stir in egg and vanilla until incorporated. Add apple butter and mix until combined. Pour in 1/2 of the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add remaining dry ingredients and mix just until no dry clumps of flour remain. Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours.
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Mix together remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons cinnamon in a shallow bowl or pie pan. Drop tablespoon-sized pieces of dough into the cinnamon-sugar mixture and roll into balls, coating well. Place 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are just set, about 10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cook's Note:
Use apple butter at room temperature.
