Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 cup apple butter (high-quality)
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix in apple butter until combined, then add the room-temperature egg and blend until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined—avoid overmixing.

- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
