Apple Butter Cookies
These cookies are apple-forward and absolutely delicious. You will love my Auntie JJ's Apple Butter Cookies!
Equipment
- Stand mixer paddle attachment
Ingredients
For The Cookies
- 2.75 c. all-purpose flour
- 2 c. granulated sugar
- 1 stick butter room temperature
- ¾ c. apple butter
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
- 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- ½ tsp. cream of tartar
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. kosher salt
For The Sugar Coating
- ⅓ c. granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp. pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Mix vanilla, butter, apple butter, and sugar until well-combined. I use my stand mixer with the paddle attachment.
- Add egg; mix until incorporated.
- Combine cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and flour.
- In small batches, add the dry ingredients to the mixture. Mix until combined.
- Wrap dough in cling wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll dough out into small, even-size balls. Mix together ⅓ c. granulated sugar + 2 tbsp. pumpkin pie spice in a bowl. Roll each ball into the sugar coating and place on the baking sheet. Bake cookies for roughly fifteen minutes; allow cookies to cool + enjoy!
Notes
- As apple butter is a prominent flavor in this recipe, purchase good-quality.
- Refrigerate dough for the full hour before baking.
- The cookies will be done when the edges + bottom are brown. The tops should still look soft when you remove them from the oven!
