How to Make Apple Cider Cookies

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, instant apple cider mix, baking soda, apple pie spice, and salt.
  2 ¼ Cups All-Purpose Flour, 3 Packets Instant Apple Cider Mix, 1 Teaspoon Apple Pie Spice, ½ Teaspoon Baking Soda, ¼ Teaspoon Salt
• In a separate large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and apple cider, mixing until combined.
  12 Tablespoons Butter, ¾ Cups Brown Sugar, ¼ Cup Granulated Sugar, 1 Large Egg, ¼ Cup Apple Cider
• Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky, which is normal.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 60 minutes. Chilling helps firm up the dough, making it easier to scoop and helping the cookies hold their shape while baking.
• Prepare the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and apple pie spice for the coating.
  ½ Cup Granulated Sugar, 1 Teaspoon Apple Pie Spice
• Shape and Coat the Cookies. Scoop the dough into balls approximately 2 inches in diameter. A cookie scoop helps keep the cookies evenly sized.
• Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
• Bake for 12–13 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn light golden brown. The centers may still look slightly soft, but they will continue to set as the cookies cool.
• Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
• Repeat with the remaining dough.
