Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup apple cider
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
Mixing Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
- Gradually pour in the apple cider, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Baking
- Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked as they will firm up while cooling.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
For best results, measure ingredients accurately and use fresh apple cider. Chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before baking can help cookies hold their shape better. Experiment with variations like adding nuts or dried fruits.
