Ingredients

Cookie Ingredients:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • ½ cup light brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup white granulated sugar divided
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons reduced apple cider see notes
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg divided
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon divided

Frosting Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
  • 4 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons reduced apple cider

Instructions

  • Prep the apple cider: Pour 1 ½ cups of apple cider into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Boil for 10-15 minutes, or until the cider is thickened slightly and reduced to about five tablespoons. Cool and use as instructed.
  • Make the cookie dough: Cream butter, sugars, egg, vanilla, and apple cider for 2-3 minutes. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, and spices). Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
  • Roll in sugar coating: Combine sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Use a cookie scoop to scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls and then roll the dough balls in the mixture. Place 2" apart on a cookie sheet that has been lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Bake: Bake at 375°F for 9 minutes until the cookies are golden brown on the bottoms, but still soft in the centers. Cool for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make the frosting: Beat butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and apple cider until creamy and fluffy.
  • Assemble: Pipe or spread frosting on the bottoms of half the cookies, then sandwich with the remaining cookies.
