Cookie Dough:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup apple butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Beat in the egg, then mix in the apple butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  5. Mix the dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Shape and bake: Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls, coat in cinnamon sugar if desired, and place on baking sheets. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set. Cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
