Enjoy the comforting taste of fall with these delightful Apple Butter Snickerdoodles. These soft, chewy cookies combine the classic cinnamon-sugar snickerdoodle flavor with the warm, spiced sweetness of apple butter, creating a perfect seasonal treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup apple butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • For Rolling: 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the apple butter and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon for rolling.
  7. Roll rounded tablespoons of cookie dough into balls.
  8. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
  9. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra burst of cinnamon flavor, you can add an extra teaspoon of cinnamon to the cookie dough itself.
  • Ensure your butter is truly softened, not melted, for the best cookie texture.
  • Don’t overbake the cookies; they should look slightly underdone in the center as they will continue to cook on the hot baking sheet.
