- Unsalted butter, softened: 1/2 cup (1 stick)
- Brown sugar, packed: 3/4 cup
- Granulated sugar: 1/2 cup
- Apple cider: 1/2 cup
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the apple cider and vanilla extract.
- Step 3: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Notes
- Store completely cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their soft texture.
- A quick zap in the microwave (about 5-10 seconds) will make the cookies and glaze extra gooey and delicious.
- Serve these cozy cookies with a warm mug of spiced apple cider for the ultimate fall treat.
- For a richer apple flavor, reduce the apple cider over low heat until it thickens slightly before adding it to the batter.
