Ingredients

Units Scale

Dough:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup apple butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter, apple butter, and sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, apple butter, and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Prepare cinnamon sugar coating: In a small bowl, combine the 2 teaspoons cinnamon and 1/4 cup sugar for rolling.
  6. Shape and bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, then coat each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place on baking sheets and bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set but centers are still soft.
  7. Cool and serve: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • For extra apple flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg to the dough.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • These cookies freeze well for longer storage.
