Grandmas Old Fashioned Apple Butter Cookies
Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup unsalted butter softened
1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ cup Apple Butter
½ teaspoon cinnamon
Directions:
1.) Whisk flour, baking powder, cream of tartar and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
2.) Cream butter and 1 1/4 cups sugar in a mixer until fluffy.
4.) Mix in eggs, vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and apple butter. Beat just until mixed.
5.) Add in flour mixture and mix until just blended together. Chill your dough at least 4 hours. Dough MUST be cold before baking. Preheat oven to 350°F.
6.) Place 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/3 cup sugar in a small bowl.
7.) Scoop balls of cookie dough and roll them in the cinnamon sugar.
8.) Place on your cookie sheet.
9.) Bake cookies for 11-12 minutes for slightly underdone, 13-14 minutes for fully done. I like my cookies half raw, but if you don’t, cook them for the full 13-14 minutes. Cool slightly before removing from cookie sheets.
