Calories: 154kcal
Cost: $1.81 or $0.15/cookie
Ingredients
- 1 cup apple cider
- ¾ cup brown sugar packed
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour (or ¾ cup whole wheat flour + ¾ cup all-purpose flour)
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp cream of tartar
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- cinnamon sugar mix for rolling
Instructions
- Pour the apple cider into a small saucepan and heat to a simmer. Continue to simmer until reduced to about 4-5 tablespoons (this will take about 20 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside to cool in the fridge.
- Preheat oven to 350° and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Add the brown sugar and softened butter to a large mixing bowl, and using a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until well combined (about 1-2 minutes).
- Add the egg and 4 or 5 tablespoons of the apple cider (see notes) and mix until well combined.
- Add the flour, cinnamon, cream of tartar, and baking soda and mix until well combined.
- Scoop the cookie dough into 2-inch balls, then roll in cinnamon sugar mixture and place on a baking sheet. Flatten each cookie ball slightly with your hand. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until starting to crackle on the tops.
- Allow the cookies to cool, then serve!
Notes
***I tested this recipe with both 4 tbsp and 5 tbsp of the apple cider mixture and both work great. If you accidentally reduce the apple cider down too far, just add back enough water to make it 4 tbsp.
