Ingredients

  • 3 cups (372g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter softened
  • 1 ¼ cups (250g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup Apple Butter
  • ½ tsp cinnamon

For the topping:

  • cup (67g) granualted sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Cream butter and 1 ¼ cups sugar in a mixer until fluffy. Mix in eggs, vanilla, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and apple butter.
  • Beat just until mixed. Add in flour mixture and mix until just blended together. Chill your dough at least 2 hours.
  • This dough MUST be cold before baking. Because of all the butter and apple butter, the cookies will spread quite a bit if you skip the chilling!
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment or a silpat baking mat.
  • Place 1 teaspoon cinnamon and ⅓ cup sugar in a small bowl.
  • Scoop balls of cookie dough (mine were done using a 1 or 2 tablespoon cookie scoop) and roll them in the cinnamon sugar.
  • Place on your cookie sheet. I recommend only scooping 2 cookie sheets at a time, then re-chill the dough for while those two trays bake.
  • Bake cookies for 11-15 minutes or until they're no longer glossy and light golden around the edges. Cool at least 10 minutes before removing from cookie sheets.
