Sweet Cider1 cup240ml
All-Purpose Flour4 cups480g
Cinnamon4 tsp8g
Allspice2 tsp4g
Nutmeg½ tsp1g
Cloves¼ tsp0.5g

Baking Soda1 tsp6g

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter until soft and smooth. Add the brown sugar and mix until well combined.
  3. Beat the egg well and mix it into the butter-sugar mixture. Stir in the sweet cider until incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and baking soda.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, 1/3 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 2-3 days for enhanced flavor).
  6. Remove half of the dough from the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to your desired thickness and cut it into shapes using cookie cutters.
  7. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) between them.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
  9. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
