Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar lightly packed
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons apple butter
- 18 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

- 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar for coating
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon for coating
Instructions
- Get your oven ready: Turn your oven on to 350°F. Line two baking trays with parchment paper so your cookies don't stick.
- Mix the wet stuff: In a big bowl, mix the butter, brown sugar, egg yolk, vanilla, and apple butter until they are all friends.
- Stir in the dry stuff: Now, add the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Stir until a dough comes together.
- Let the dough chill: Cover your bowl and let the dough hang out in the fridge for 15 minutes. This is an important step!
- Roll in sugar: Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Scoop your dough into balls and roll them in the sugar.
- Time to bake: Place the dough balls on your trays and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Turn the trays around once while they are baking. ENJOY!!!
